There is a place for SUVs and trucks, but as gas prices keep on going up, you have got to understand the market. People are going to try to save money.”

Have to understand the market? WHAT IS HE TALKING ABOUT?

People buy SUVs and trucks to haul things. Groceries. Kids. Lumber. Tools. Those needs don't go away just because you decide at your central planning board that smaller, more fuel efficient cars are better.

Other than that, Obama, you are a moron.

His desired end state is to be able to tell Americans what kind of car they must drive. Just one more reason the healthcare mandate MUST be declared unconstitutional.

The key word is smaller. MPG is just a socially acceptable cover story. Leftism is mostly size envy. The biggest visual displays that pain leftists the most is the size of your automobiles and the size of your home.

we’re in the same boat as that family guy who tried to have reasonable conversation with O - the guy with 10 kids? and O told him to get a hybrid van?
LOL!

As much as the gas is killing us - it is still cheaper for us to hold onto our SUV.
We cannot afford a hybrid van - nor would it have enough seats for everyone.
And the last thing I want to happen when my vehicle is full of kids on a cold winter day while traveling through hills in the north is to have a battery run out of juice.
