Smaller families and tighter budgets denote the need for smaller fuel efficient cars.

Although my understanding is that there have been steady increases in SUV sales and also that people are still buying 4WDs. Whilst some smaller cars ARE generally seeing increases, the market is still there for large cars - it's just now that people want those large cars to also be tall and look like they can head off road.
Maybe the answer is to jack the local product up on their springs and everyone will love them again?
