Nice looking family. I guess my sister and I (she has 4) and I have three will be in the hurt locker in a few years when we won’t be able to buy a vehicle to comfortably fit the family. My brother and his wife only have 1 child so far so he at this moment would be ok. Now I 100 percent want the automakers to not get the bailout. Before I was not sure which way we should go...this cemented my decision.
“Congress could consider demanding that Detroit simply phase out S.U.V.’s and vans by a certain date.”
Isn’t the idiea of a bailout for the Big 3 to help them survive?
Then forcing them to produce vehicles that no one is willing to buy hardly seems like an intelligent choice. Oh sorry we were talking about liberal/socialist weren’t we.....
They say that since it is very seldom they are all going to the same place at the same time, it was actually cheaper then running one big car all over.
Mark Finkelstein is a nut. No-one is saying that SUVs and vans don’t have a purpose, but the FACT is that SUVs and trucks have been abused — how many people have you seen in NYC that just use these monsters to get from Queens to Jersey city? Like everything in life, it has a purpose. SUVs are great for outdoorsmen, farmers, hunters, rangers etc. But for city driving, small cars make the most sense.
Limos and taxis should be the first to go.
“”Congress could consider demanding that Detroit simply phase out S.U.V.’s and vans by a certain date.””
Does the Times actually use punctuation like that? If so it’s in worse shape than I thought. A plural “s” gets no apostrophe.

The NYT might have not thought through the implications of phasing out vans and SUVs, but the premise of this article is misleading and inflammatory.
“Congress could consider demanding that Detroit simply phase out S.U.V.’s and vans by a certain date.”
The NYT has shown exactly why the bailout is a bad idea; Congress has no more business designing and selling motor vehicles than it does telling us how many children we should have. Can you imagine a car designed and built by a bureaucrat? In concept it would be fuel efficient, cheap to buy, environmentally friendly and come only in earth tones so as not to offend the eye. In practice, it would be over budget, unreliable, behind in production, sold at a loss, and prone to randomly burst into flames. It would make Yugo’s look like Bentleys.

Cut off the groceries to New York..... truckers boycott NYC
Well, since the New York Times is also a failing business in a failing industry, shouldn't Congress demand that the New York Times' top executives resign? Surely only new management can enforce the deep cultural change needed to overhaul the newspaper industry...
Damn commies.
When everyone was freaking out about the cost of gas, trading in their paid for SUV’s to take on a car payment for a car that gets better mileage, we traded in a mini-van for a conversion van. LOL! I was afraid to drive it at first but now I LOVE it! It is so comfortable and roomy. The kids argue less because they are not on top of each other.
These people that want to control everything are insane!
“”Congress could consider demanding that Detroit simply phase out S.U.V.’s and vans by a certain date.””
I am SO SCREWED!!

We need to force liberals to live in small rat box apartments stacked on top of each other in big, smelly cities infested with collectivist morons, welfare bums and criminals.
Oh, wait...
