Like you said "Here in Denmark". I'm referring to the odds of them selling in the USA which is what the original question was. will they make it in the USA? We have been through the small car routine here, and look what sells best here. Pickups, SUV's even bigger pickups, even bigger SUV's. Do you know what a Hummer is? THAT is what kids look up to as the vehicle that they admire here. I'm certainly not saying I agree withthat, but that is reality here in the world of $1.50 a gallon gas. People seem quite happy to get 12-15 miles per gallon, and to spend 4050 filling the tank on these beasts.Until that changes either by market pressure or by fuel taxation that punishes waste like this, these things will continue to sell here.Small cramped fuel efficient cars like Fiats, Citoens, Peugeots, Alfas etc,are not about to take sales away from the sUV here in the USA right now.
