[quote Pat]Balance? So as long as Detroit produced ads more appealing to your tastes, it'd all balance out? Now that is funny!
Same marketing in the same market segment, my point still stands.
I could care less about the other market segments or Detroits financial problems, they are not the subject of this thread.
I can't buy all their cars but the facts are the facts. Toyota and Honda are profitable without the same emphasis on the big truck and SUV line as the Big 3. I don't have to prove it, the market has proven it.
The "other segments" are the difference between the big 3 and the others. You can be upset and defend them to the hilt but the sales numbers and backups of big trucks and SUV with worldwide oil volatility speak volumes.
Like I said before, I will be cruising in a Chevy soon because there is a vehicle they make that meets my needs.
I am not the final judge on this, the consuming public is and this new big toyota could also be a flop as gas prices rise. Toyota though has the top selling car in the US and plenty of other cars. They won't be hurting as much.
