Americans Will Buy SUVs Even if Gas Hits Four Dollars a Gallon: Ford

A core group of US consumers will continue to buy large sports utility vehicles (SUVs) even if gasoline prices rise to four dollars a gallon and stay that way, a senior executive at the Ford Motor Company said.

“There is a certain portion of the marketplace and customers who want that flexibility that is provided with a traditional SUV,” Mark Fields, president of the automaker’s Americas division, said during a conference with analysts.

“So I don’t think our strategy would change too much.”
