So again, Honda, Nissan, and Toyota seem to be able to weather the slump.

This is spot on. If people want SUV's, fine, build SUV's. But don't build SUV's while ignoring your other product lines. Cars are fads, pure and simple. If it's not SUV's, it's sports cars, or big cars with tail fins, or cars with holes in the front fender. If the SUV fad slows down or ends, and your cars are still pretty much where they were 10 years ago, while Honda has cars out that have been steadilly developed over all those years, Honda's gonna win.
