As Paul points out, Europeans have been paying $4+ per gallon for a long time now and their roads are still jammed with cars. Although in general their cars are much more fuel efficient than the ones on US roads, there are still a lot of high performance vehicles on the roads over there that get bad mileage!
I think the SUV is dead, diesel will be huge (I can easily see 35% or so of the market in 10 years time, just as it is in Europe now), and houses way out in the ex-urbs will continue to decline in value, but those of us who like to drive performance vehicles (Saabs et al.) will continue to do so.
