In case you missed the news lately they do have to compete Porsche/Mercedes,attract the SUV family crowd and anyone else they can. The car world (along with many others) as it was is gone , now it's survival. The melt down isn't just a "wall st or housing " thing the entire world is going to feel the effects. Manufacturers will make what they can sell, period.
