The big vehicles are dead except for absolute necessity. The downside is depending on their production models, large vehicles may no longer have the scales of economy they once did which would then likely drive up the price. This is really going to challenge the paradigm of the family that sees the SUV as the minimum acceptable baby mobile. I wonder if Thornhill's wife is still pushing for an SUV or would settle for a more modest mini van to move the family around in. My guess General Motors agrees with Krauthammer.

But for now until absolutely necessary it's on the back burner. Perhaps when necessary we'll still consider whether a large car is needed? Definitely 4 doors.

We can demand that the Goverment changes the tax laws, however the US doesn't have an energy policy. We have no set direction on energy, which includes gas. Until an energy policy is written and passed, we'll continue to pass useless bills. For my next vehicle, I was planning on purchasing a full-size truck for it's utility, but at this point I'll be purchasing a hybrid or electric vehicle. In the mean time I'll just be budgeting for increase fuel prices and carpooling whenever possible. I think we’ll continue to adapt.
