I don't know jack about the statistics, but isn't the family car or city
sedan the biggest market compared to the rural hay-hauling market? I live
in a city of over 50000 and VERY few of them need a big farm vehicle. To
the extnet that Chrysler has ignored the smaller car market, they brought
some of their troubles on themselves. Looking at this country's
demographics, a car company that makes only trucks and big-a** SUVs isn't
thinking very clearly. The events of the last year have made any argument on
this issue moot.
