Where's Fiero?
"American car companies relied too much on big, heavy, gas guzzling pickup trucks". Excuse me?
I believe that big, heavy 5.6L V8 crew cab pickup behind my car is a JAPANESE Nissan Titan! Yes, the Japanese wanted a piece of the full-size pickup market, and they got a piece, before the recession and collapsing full-size pickup sales caught them flat-footed. They hadn't counted on the patriotism of American pickup buyers. That's why the Ford F- Series pickup is the best selling pickup (indeed, the best-selling vehicle) in the world, and the Chevy Silverado is #2. And Chevy builds the only hybrid full-size V8 pickups, with a combined city/highway MPG of 22. Take that, Toyota and Nissan!
