After the 70's gas lines, whose stupid idea was it to build those big SUVs and trucks?


Additional Details
I agree with all you actually. There are those that need larger vehicles, but there are way too many single people driving around in a car that seats 8.

Okay, there are some people that legitimately need one.

But, the people that don't ... I'm sure they're feeling the pain of their decision every time they go to the pump. The price of gas isn't going down any time soon. Payback's a _____ , ya' know?


Tristam H
More than likely the same people that stood in those gas lines.

Probably the people that have like 7 kids...

You can blame the consumers -- that's what they wanted, so that's what they got. Look at all the bozos who wanted Hummers to be made commercially available after they saw them used by the military in the first Gulf War.

Looks like it started with Jeep.
But it’s not all about the gas and sometime it is not as stupid as you think. The problem is that some people following the fashion buying SUVs or Trucks when they don’t really need them.

They built them for the people that work and need them to make a living and yes there are alot of people that dont need them but it is not the car companies fault that we are at war proving nothing...

well ***** some people need them like me i would like to see you make it up my drive way in the winter and drive on a country road plus in spring we the snow melts then it turns in mud try coming with ur compact car and my suv isn't that big i get 20 mpg high way plus it is a small s10 blazer

I agree. I don't understand why some retired people have 2 of them. We live in New England but really, it's not winter all of the time. They don't really go anywhere. I can see 1 but 2.

I needed to rent a vehicle and didn't because the only option was an SUV. The agent agreed with me when I told her I thought it was kind of stupid, a single person driving one. This was down south, in nice weather.

GM and Ford thought they knew the American consumer. They were wrong and are paying the price.
