Really?!

I hope this is just a blip on the screen:


After nearly a year of flagging sales, low gas prices and fat incentives are reigniting America's taste for big vehicles.

Trucks and SUVs will outsell cars in December, according to researchers at the automotive Website Edmunds.com, something that hasn't happened since February.

Meanwhile, the forecast finds that sales of hybrid vehicles are expected to be way down.


You know, I have no qualms about people's buying decisions; but when prices go back up again by say, oh..this summer, people will be screaming again. Let's hope for the average American consumer budget's sake that we still have the fortitude to make tough decisions. We're going have to make tough decisions in the 2009. Gas is cheap(er), but perhaps its not the time to pick up old habits again?
