Eh...
The lemmings didn't stay away for too long. All it took was some deep price cuts. I guess the life of your family is worth 0% financing these days.

Well, people are still buying them. Alot of them in fact. What might end up hurting them in the long run though, is they are adopting the philosphy that I feel hurt the big 3 for so long. Which is cut the price of their cars enough because its better to take a loss and have people drive one of their cars instead a competitor's. That line of thinking is a very slippery slope.
