Detroit - Think they'll ever 'get it'? - Toyota Yaris Forums

The Suburban has it's place. Actually, I plan on acquiring one in the next little while.

Yeah they'll get it, when they're FINISHED (which is pretty much NOW). This larger-than-life thinking by the Big-3 has stuck around for decades, so IMO they're not gonna be able to shake their stubborn ways and get on the bandwagon soon enough to survive. Think they would better off if they sold-out completely to the companies that are still dominating right now even during the recession. It's like a very old dog that's no longer good for nothing. Why sit around and watch it suffer? Grab the gun and take him behind the barn already...

And yes, I agree that bigger cars are better for families, but to be honest I can't remember the last time I've seen more just a driver inside an Escalade

Can you elaborate? I am honestly trying to figure out how the rest of the world survives without such a beast.

I agree. Towing a boat, ATVs, horse trailers, etc. It's great for towing and bringing several people with you.
