I guess I'm confused about CAFE ratings. I thought all the other guys, all?
both...Chevy and ford were glad they were selling so many gas guzzling SUVs
and big trucks, extended cabs and 4 doors now because thosde did not affect
the cars CAFE.
I would think the PT Cruiser would have helped offest a couple of Vipers,
300's and Sebrings in the car line. What other light truck does Chrysler
offer, the 3/4 size PU? The full size PUs? I understand they are bringing
back a limited edition of a retro PowerWagons, and they probably need the PT
to offset that beast.
I have mixed emotions about the whole thing. I've always been a small car
fan, but I love my 4wd F150, and nothing is better for traveling with the
grandkids than the Tahoe with a TV and VCR in the back. As long as I can
afford it, I'll probably have full sized vehicles along with my bitty ones.
RH....now the Health Camp hamburger stand on the Traffic Circle in Waco,
Texas? Thats a Cafe!
