The dirty little secret is that, with a few exceptions, the SUVs cover the costs of the passenger cars. GM loses $$ on most passenger cars they sell. With UAW labor, the margins just aren’t there.

Wow.
That's the newest, most creative and banal argument I have yet heard.
SUVs and trucks subsidize all the rational-sized vehicles?

Who knew?

Slightly OT, but the options on automobiles help, too.

Saw a great review of the Ford Flex in the paper today. Ford is selling an optional micro-refrigerator that fits between the back seats and can cool a couple of cans of soda and a sandwich or two. The cost? $780!!

I can buy a boatload of styrofoam coolers for that price!
