I wouldn't say a serious hurting. The option is there but Toyota is blowing it with the new Tundra plus the truck market imo is a loyal market. Toyota said they had the option to tune new Tundra to 450HP but they waited to see what the other trucks were going to be so they could tune it just above theirs. If they released it with HP well above the others then they could crack that loyal market.

Hello and welcome to 5 years ago. Now they have the Fusion, Milan, Zephyr, and even the Five Hundred gets 29 mpg hwy. There's the Focus which has always sold well - it's one of the most popular domestic compacts out there. Then they have the Edge crossover vehicles coming. The Europeans LOVE them too. If you want to talk about any domestic company ignoring smaller and more efficient vehicles you need to criticize CHRYSLER. Ford is the BEST OFF between the three as far as efficient competent smaller vehicles. Meanwhile, DCX has been doing nothing but talking about their gas-guzzling HEMI cars the past year or two.

I finally saw one again. It's the Caliber. The Nitro is YET ANOTHER fuel sucking SUV in the Chrysler lineup, this one a 5 passenger RWD based one with your choice of 18/23 mpg, or 17/21 mpg. Pimp350 take note.
