Yes sure that makes perfect sense. :hmm:
Makes perfect sense indeed, what are you complaining about with your hidden irony? Fuel-slurping monster cars are a dying species, so why wasting money on them - by buying them and the fuel they need, or by wasting taxes on maintaining production capacities for anachronistic cars? Go modern - it's the future, and it is inevitable. German car makers find it hard to learn that, too - but they do, slowly, but nevertheless. If GM and Crysler don't, they will be dead very soon. They are sitting on a mountain of fuel-killing cars that nobody wants to buy anymore. the smaller and more economic models of them and foreign producers sell much better.
