Since the talk about the big 3 lead to points about building cars that nobody wanted. With gas prices in mind what style of autos are people looking for then? It is vague to just say reliable. Are there any examples out there? I said before that I sure missed my old Nissan truck. I have looked online and found many smaller trucks that are not sold here. With practicality in mind I have been looking at scooters as 98% of our household driving is within the city. It makes no sense for me to have something big. With a scooter it limits me to summer use. I have found a little truck that would interest me. It is similar like the one used with the landscaping place.
