Chrysler Fixes Gas Prices for Three Years
May 6, 2008
This illustrates how dependent the Big Three auto companies are to their SUV profit margins. Instead of retooling their lineup for fuel-efficient solutions, they bankroll programs like this to keep selling their gas guzzlers. I think consumers are in control here, and hearing how SUVs are being traded-in for 4-cylinder 4-door sedans and depressing the value of used SUVs, I think its a safe bet we can see further loss reports in the news for Detroit automakers.
