September Sales Snapshot: Mid Versus Full-Size FWD Sedans

"“One aspect of Bubbaland is that it is not unusual for the Bubbas to spend more on a vehicle than housing.” So what you’re saying is they are related to the brothers who put $5000 30″ dubs and a $3000 sound system in a $2000 car, and live three generations in the same housing project, right? Wow – just – wow." Not a lot of comparison, actually. Bubbas live in a bought-for and paid shanty and often there is no trash or broken windows but there may be a BBQ and larger kid's toys outside year-round. Also a lack of using intimidation tactics against others to gain "street creds." Generally, expensive modifications to vehicles are rare. It's more important to have a BIG screen TV for NasCar and football and to have a satellite receiver. Then compare crime statistics of the two different socio-economic groups and the differences are apparent. I would not have opted for this locale to resettle if it was a dangerous place to be. This is the world of the "good old boy" that populates the military when the real trouble arises. Not criminal or crime-free but compared to other areas I have dwelt well, I have yet to hear even one burst of full-auto weapons fire and nary a fire-bombing over turf. In comparison to other demographic groups I have encountered the Bubbas are rather peaceful, on the whole, with minor exceptions as encountered with every grouping.

Let's try this again... Ford, the "American Manufacturer" that took no "bailout money"(right), sold less full sized vehicles based on the FWD platform than Chrysler did, in the middle of BK no less, based on the RWD LX platform. Go Taurus.
