It may take a few years but....
...as soon as the economy gets its act together and rebounds (which it will) commodity prices will increase (which they will).
I think they would be silly to try to mass market these things now with gas at $2.00 / gallon. It would be a hard sell.
As soon as gas gets back to $4.00 a gallon tho (which it will), 1.5L and less cars will be very much in demand. I have a feeling that C/F might have the luck of timing on their hands, as it will invariably take a couple years for the new cars and the stream put into place.
That said, you betcha I will grab a 500 quickly. Another nice thing is that the NA-spec car will have 3 years of engineering mods prior to hitting our roads. Nothing like a first-year car full of bugs to pop the happy ballon...
