It's a been shocking/discouraging to see that as usual, it seems like American consumers care little about conservation and pollution now the gas prices have gotten cheaper... Although many of these are down in sales YTD, many are up A LOT per selling day last month compared to the same period last year: Escalade +145.7% Escalade ESV +249.5% Escalade EXT +188.9% Surburban +70% Tahoe +99.6% Yukon +141.6% Yukon XL +126.3% Hummer H2 +31.6% Sales of more miserly cars per selling day were down like: Aveo -31.1% Cobalt -43% Vibe -17% You can see Toyota's sales for comparison at http://www.theautochannel.com/news/2006/11/01/027342.html.

The only reason they're up is because they're brand new models for 2007. That Escalade I sat on the FIRST day of the auto show had a loose centre console box lid.... good job. Oh, and the price hike... god, talk about sticker shock. The Escalade now costs Cdn$90k!!!! jeez, I can buy a GS450h with tax and change lol.
