Having nearly exterminated passenger cars, I have been expecting the big three to start killing off the smaller CUVs, as they continue their push for ever higher ATP and GP, regardless of loss of volume, due to fewer people being able to afford what they want to sell.
We old phartz remember the big three doing this in the past, repeatedly. The same thing always happens: someone else enters the market, in segments the big three abandoned, and eats their lunch. So big three management goes crying to the government it hates, for protection from competitor inroads in markets they abandoned, using their employee’s as hostages.
