Reply #119: I did'nt say people were forced to by SUV's

I said that people or rather the public did not ask for them. No one came out in some public group think tank and say to ford , build us this. That is not the way it works.

The auto companies hire social shrinks to tell them what might catch on and then they market the idea.

The majority of the population buy what they see others have and it starts small and builds.

There were pickups then we had the bronco and that was about it then the companies wanted to combine these to replace the station wago and over time people ended up with little choice other than the later mini van. But it was all introduced usually at auto shows where dolts go.
