Business Casual

This morning brings big news of a major business model shift at Toyota.

More Toyota Prius hybrids rolling off the assembly lines. Fewer pickups – please, oh please, leave the Toyota Tacoma, the greatest vehicle I’ve ever seen, alone – and no SUVs.

I’m guessing that the Toyota majordomos didn’t give Phil Gramm a call before announcing these decisions. I’m sure Phil would have told them the auto sales downturn is all in their collective heads.

I like Gramm’s logic, though: My gargantuan monthly gasoline bill is all in my head. So I shouldn’t have to pay it.

Right?
