Gas is $3.50 a gallon in NJ. So obviously people arent looking for a gas guzzler. The expedition is no different from other lines full sized SUV's. If anything its a smart decision. You post a bigger profit, and adress the gas issue on full sized SUVs before it becomes an even bigger problem. Kudos for Ford so wait you think it a bad decision? Gas is $3.50 a gallon in NJ.

You're looking at the bigger picture which those here ignore. I don't dispute the company's failure in foresight as I've commented on that many times. ‘bolex’, my angle was the incessant talk of the Camry taking the lead, period.

Really, who cares? Totally different markets, totally different vehicles. Should anyone eventually care if I start making motorcycles that outsell every car made? What if everyone bought gold, became rich, and then bought a GTR making it #1 ... who the fuck cares? Sales #s mean nothing as a stand-alone indicator. The market dictates a trend and manufacturers have to respond ... simple. Adapt or die. And so what if the Camry outsells it? Really, who cares? Totally different markets, totally different vehicles.
