A good measure of a strong economy? # of SUVs/Trucks sold
Another sign that America is truly becoming great again! But after the disastrous 8 years, we still have a LONG way to go!
But frankly, I cannot understand for the life of me as to why anyone would not want Americans to buy trucks & SUVs. They are far more safer than the little go-cart / Prisus cars that libs would have you drive. And why would any rational person give up their person safety because of the Climate Change hoax? Only a tard would think that way.

The car as we have known it appears to be doomed in the U.S.
No, not because we'll all be biking or taking buses or flying with jet packs or riding around in automated vehicles. Sure, a lot of people think that last one is coming soon. Technology analyst Horace Dediu is betting on bikes. And I'm not willing to totally count out the possible triumph of buses or jet packs.
But until that glorious day comes -- whichever kind of day it is -- it appears that Americans will be driving around not in cars but in sport utility vehicles, minivans and pickups.

The reason bigger vehicle sales are up is due to gas prices which is due to the fracking explosion in our country thus leading to a glut of crude.

Yep. And fracking became economical as a backlash to Obama closing off offshore drilling.

Neither do f you know what you are talking about. Suv demand is driven more efficient engines, which have destroyed demand, as well as improvements in fracking which have reduced the cost/unit of extraction.awesome guy wrote:Yep.

Offshore drilling is down because oil is currently selling below break even prices. Fracking is displacing demand for more expensive deep sea projects.
Now is the perfect time to allow gas taxes to adjust for inflation, rather than subsidizing the freeze on gas taxes with income taxes and deficit spending. Another buck or two tax per gallon would help fund trumps infrastructure projects and deprive our enemies in the Mid East and Russia from their primary source of income.
Re: A good measure of a strong economy? # of SUVs/Trucks sol
This is fake news big guy. US auto sales have been strong for years, but have slowed in 2017 as the economy slows down. A really nice buyers market is developing.

I can go in the backyard and pull a turnip out of the ground that's brighter than you. Go troll for tuna, it's more effective and tasty. But when I go offshore, it's full throttle burning twin 2 stroke engines, 4 miles per gallon. Going again tomorrow, barbecuing dead dinosaurs in the combustion chamber.
