No, it's frankly retarded. Toyota speaks of seeing the writing five years ago on the wall - but they started up production for a new, heavy-ass, uni-frame "suv", with oversized wheels, not to mention the almost 40K price tag... That tells me they were just riding on luck and good fortunes, not good predictions of the future.


Like said, there will be a need for Suburbans in the future (care to guess how many military contractors purchase these?), albeit at a much smaller rate of production than in the past, of course.
