Great find by Paul Kedrosky at Infectious Greed. This LA Times story shows the demise of the Hummer, a popular vehicle choice in Orange County, as gas prices have spiked and credit has crumbled.

    The Hummer is the apex of social gluttony. It has no useful "utility" due to its small cabin size. No one uses these for commercial purposes. Vans were all the rage in the 1970's when the first oil shocks hit. Their sales plummeted too, as many were used for "recreation" and not utility.
  • I agree. The interior is tiny. And most people that own them don't use them
    for anything, break over speed bumps, and regard off roading as parking on a
    dirt lot near a softball field.
