sal,
The following is an interesting Nov. 1 post from the energyresources
list, discussing the sudden collapse of the SUV market.
Given rising interest rates and permanently higher gas prices, SUVs
are probably doomed as an important consumer choice. And Ford and GM
are rapidly fading junk bond empires that made a disastrous gamble on
cheap oil, the status quo, and their massive institutional power.
Sounds a lot like TxDOT too, right?
Today exit the SUVs; tomorrow exit the Texas toll roads tied to the
same cheap oil. -- Roger

Steeply falling sales of trucks and large S.U.V.'s, which have been strong sellers for G.M. and Ford in recent years, continued to weigh heavily on both companies. Pickup and S.U.V. sales dropped 30 percent for G.M. and 31 percent for Ford last month, compared to October 2004. Some models did even worse. Sales of the Hummer H2, for instance, were down a whopping 53 percent. Sales of the Ford Explorer, a model that just underwent an extensive and critically well-received updating, plunged 59 percent.
