8/22 My year 2006 prediction -- There will be an SUV bubble.
Housing prices will continue to climb.
\_ Do you mean: SUV prices will suddenly ascend to ludicious
\_ Do you mean: SUV prices will suddenly ascend to ludacris
levels (a bubble) or prices will crash (a bubble burst)?
\_ I'm Fiddy Cent Beeaatch! <bang> <bang> <bang>
\_ What's a ludacris level? Is that the level most of those
pimped out rap mobile Escalades are at?
\_ The number of SUV sales will go down. GM/Ford/etc keep pumping
out the same number of SUVs and realize the low demand, and
start cutting prices drastically during the summer of 2006.
\_ You think executives don't cut production when sales
decline? "GM and Ford have already made clear that their
outlook for SUV sales this year isn't bright. Both have
cut SUV production plans. (May 2005)" Although recently
sales have rebounded due to large price cuts, but I doubt
that will spur large production increases.
\_ The past couple of years have shown Detroit to be be not
operating very rationally. You'd think executives would
cut production when sales decline, but, up until this year,
they hadn't. Dealers have been complaining for years about
being shipped too many SUVs and larger cars that just sat
on their lots unsold. At the same time, buyers have been
put on waiting lists to buy hybrids. American car sales
came out of the doldrums briefly this year for the first
time in a few years as a result of massive price cuts -
the so-called "employee discounts" for everybody sales.
\_ Since Detroit loses money on almost every vehicle except
for SUVs -- how will they survice?
\_ Is this a clumsy attempt to change the subject?
\_ And you're so confident in your prediction, you even fail to sign
your name!
\_ my prediction, the aliens who doped us up with Sci Fi films
will attack us finally
