and don't forget that Iran is far from being an isolationist state. it has friends the world over and it wouldn't be difficult to suggest to Iran's allies that any move made by Israel was by proxy, a move by America.
it is not only israel who are eager for any excuse to kick things off. with such commitments at the oil reserves, there is a certain US vulnerability at the moment.

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.

nothing to do with the US housing situation then? or is that too a consequence of oil prices?

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"

the fact that you know of
yugo, suggests that the market for mini cars is not limited to just us. this universality is true also for high mileage drivers and miniscule fuel efficient motors.
