VW just co- produced the Touareg by sharing the expense with Porsche for their Cayenne. Check out the similarities. Both US and Asian automakers are working on downsizing Mini Vans and cars. The SUV - MPV is going to be a dead animal with continued higher fuel prices. Don't count on them going back down by much ........... American Airlines never lifted the fuel surcharge when we got the last reduction. UPS never lifted the fuel surcharge when we got the last reduction. FED-X - never lifted the fuel surcharge when we got the last reduction. Motor Freight Companies never lifted the fuel surcharge when we got the last reduction. Just get used to it, things are going to get more expensive to support all our bankrupt State, City, Federal Governments.
