I think that regardless of gas prices, the nation all together has shifted to become more efficient in what they drive. There will always be trucks & minivans and other large vehicles that people need. I was with a dealer (friend) a few days ago as he was researching prices for me, and told me that from the the day I bought my '01 3.0 (3? months ago) it has dropped from 15k to 12.5k at wholesale. This is in connecticut, he also suggested that we would see some slight rise in the coming months of the season.
