I wasn't using "the reality of our situation" really in terms of gas or zomgmpgs! but more "hey, do I need the Tahoe when a Traverse will do the job?

People are seeing once more that they don't need xbawksheug cars like the 80s. The upside to this, we're getting sportier and fun to drive cars to satisfy the wide audience that wants such a car without having to make the sacrifices that had to be made during the late 70s and early 80s..

IE: Cadillac Cimmaron. <_<
