More Chrysler

The Chrysler partnership saga gets curiouser and curiouser. After yesterday's news that anything is on the table regarding Chrysler's future, today brings several reports (including from the Wall Street Journal-$$ and New York Times) that Chrysler has been contemplating an alliance with, of all companies, General Motors, to build super-sized SUVs (the Tahoe, says the Times; the giganto Suburban, says the Journal).

Which brings up a question: do American car companies really need to make more large SUVs? And do we really need to be driving more of them?
