No more so than Henry Ford II was responsible for the "Edsel craze".
Just because you design, build and hype the heck out of a vehicle,
people won't buy it unless it's something they want. I think that's
what galls the SUV-haters the most: There is a huge segment of the
US popluation that does not share their opinion of what constitutes
a virtuous vehicle, and so far they have been unable to bend the
car-buying public to their iron will.
