Yes you can if you want to stay in business. That sentence alone should drop his poll number to 29%. It tells you he is totally clueless about how to run a business.
SUVs and trucks are what kept the Big Three afloat for years. It subsidized the making of passenger cars (which they were losing $$ on). It IS an issue that the Big Three are not profitable in this area. When Truck/SUV sales slowed due to recession & high fuel prices, 2/3 of them went bankrupt in 2008 (and Ford nearly did too).
The profitability issue was tied to two things: 1) lack of sales (due to poor brand design and quality) and 2) union labor strangling profits. Hopefully, these issues have abated to some degree. I really like Ford’s current lineup and will probably buy an Edge next time around.
