I don't know jack about the statistics, but isn't the family car or city 
sedan the biggest market compared to the rural hay-hauling market?  I live 
in a city of over 50000 and VERY few of them need a big farm vehicle.  To 
the extnet that Chrysler has ignored the smaller car market, they brought 
some of their troubles on themselves.  Looking at this country's 
demographics, a car company that makes only trucks and big-a** SUVs isn't 
thinking very clearly. The events of the last year have made any argument on 
this issue moot.
