An article by Motor Trend highlights the sales of the Top 10 Best Selling vehicles of 2008.  What's most interesting is that all the vehicles in the top 10 list are showing sales drops ranging from 5% to 31%, except for one vehicle.  The Honda Civic is the only vehicle showing an increase in sales at a marginal +2.1%.  This tells me not enough people were scared enough to buy perceived better fuel efficient vehicles.  Furthermore, the quality and value of buying a Ford pickup truck holds true even in tough economic times.

I've said this before, but when Armageddon hits and the US goes back to the stone age, people won't be traveling via hybrids.  It's gonna take a 4x4, at least a full size pick up truck, to get the jobs done.  I mean, when was the last time you tried moving a mattress with a hybrid?
