One of the most difficult lessons I had to learn in my many years in portfolio planning was that my personal taste in vehicles meant zip when it came to defining vehicles that would be successful in the market place. I love smaller, low roof low center of gravity vehicles that go fast and handle superbly. I’ve often said if somebody gave me an Escalade or a Silverado HD I’d sell it and buy something I like. Thing is, the vast majority of the car buying public disagree with me. As much as car enthusiasts don’t like cross over utilities, they are the hottest selling things on the automotive planet. And it’s not just soccer moms and grandparents that are buying them. More people want CR-Vs than want Mustangs, Camaros and Challengers combined. Painful fact.
