I would like to think that Isreal would defend against a counter strike as well as anyone in that area could. Im not saying Iran is incapable as much as I say Isreal is so..(dont forget who trained them)

but is this directly due to oil costs, or a general down turn in all sectors? are any markets reporting growth (other than repossession and bankruptcy industries)?
|
Yes this is due to oil costs. People loved buying those things because it represented a status..a status minus the hurt at the pump. Americans react and since gas has gone over 2 bucks the suv started to look well..a little overkill. Heck the only ones left driving were the wives of the husbands who want that status..But wives are frugal and yes suv sales are out as a result of the pump.

i think to compare you and us, you might wish to consider 'cause and effect'. europe, the home of porsche, ferrari, lamborghini, koenigsegg, tvr, bentley, rolls royce etc is not in any way traditionally concerned by miles per gallon performances.

True but europeans dont have the mielage of driving us Americans do. Dont many of you drive smaller cars as normal transportation?? can u say "yugo"
