Incentives, new models and cabin fever sent new-car buyers hustling into showrooms last month. And they walked out with what they've always favored — trucks, SUVs and midsize cars — despite a jump in fuel prices late in the month.
Yeah, those people who bought those gas-guzzling SUV's, etc. are going to look like real morons when they can't afford the $6-$8/per gallon gas for them--prices certain to occur during the life of those vehicles. Just another symptom of the "dummying down" of Americans. I think we've exported all of our critical thinking skills and common sense along with most of our industrial base.

Hey you gots it all wrong. They'll be in great shape pushing those freaking things from one overnight parking spot to another.
I must say. I'm sticking with the vehicle I have because I just don't like any of the new GM vehicles.
The last GM vehicle I liked (besides the one I'm holding onto now) was my 2002 Corvette. I don't like the look of the C6. I visited a Chevy dealer last fall and they had a 2010 Vette that had rusted wheel hubs?! Hmm... $50K to have rust showing on an viewable and non-reachable (without removing parts) item.

Are you serious? Steel rusts. And C6 > C5, not even close.
What concerns me the most is that GM is making a huge profit and is probably not setting any of it aside for the next slump. So that means they will go crying to the government for a loan and possibly dump their shareholders again. It was just 2 years ago we went through this mess and I doubt they've learned their lesson.

I think they learned they invest for the future.
