Re: Chevy vs Ford argument ends in death
I sincerely doubt it. If people didn't buy them, they wouldn't make them. The oil industry isn't making people buy obnoxiously huge gas guzzlers... but they certainly don't mind that in some circles they're still status symbols.
But both Chevy and Ford have entries in the "tiny car" arena. The Ford Focus (which ain't half bad looking) and the Chevy Aveo.
Obnoxiously huge gas guzzlers aren't as popular as they were a couple of years ago, thankfully. There are waiting lists now for hybrid compacts (although there are also hybrid SUVs!). Not that the oil industry minds... even if people buy less gas, they charge more, and continue to make record profits...
Anyway, the Chevy v. Ford rivalry, particularly among truck owners, is mildly entertaining. "Heh heh, check out that bootleg Calvin and Hobbes sticker where Calvin's peeing on the logo of the other guys' truck..."
