That isn't quite true. The major US auto manufacturers are all losing big dollars because they invested to heavily in large SUVs. As usual the US companies are years behind the curve while the Japanese are poised to gain an even larger chunk of the market share with more fuel efficient cars.

You may think SUV sales are increasing because that's all you see on the road today. But 90% of those people, on their next auto purchase, will not be buying another massive SUV.

Btw, I'm so sick of seeing 5'1" soccer moms driving all alone in humungous SUVs. "Oh, I need an SUV because it safer for little Tyler." "Oh, I need an SUV to pick up the drying cleaning so it won't get wrinkled." "Oh, I need an SUV so I can drive off-road if I have to."

Yeah, whatever.
