DETROIT The energy crisis may grip the nation but Americans still love big cars. Automakers will idle more than 20,000 workers in February due to a small car slump while scheduling heavy overtime for larger models. Big car sales rose 28 percent in two months, capturing nearly 57 percent of all sales as small cars slipped to 43 percent, with imports gaining share.
