RV sales are a well-known leading indicator of economic movement.

I did a presentation on this crap in my shitty state-school MBA program.

I don't know that RV is seen as being as luxury as porsche, but the RV costs *more.*

I think of Cayennes as soccer mom vehicles. Or at least family ones, which is where I think the economy is. -- nm - Max May 1, 12:41 4
- my friend's wife has one. it's pretty luxe, really. kind of crossoverish more than full-on SUV. -- nm - amanda May 1, 12:44 3
  - note that my friend sells cars. they never would have bought it like, new. or even used and priced fairly. they got a great deal. -- nm - amanda May 1, 12:45 2
    - Do they have kids? I'd be interested in seeing figures for SUV owners with kids vs not. -- nm - Max May 1, 12:48 1
      - oh god no. they have four huge dogs (one insane, 3 regular) and a miata. -- nm - amanda May 1, 12:53
