So… hardly anyone? Maybe one apartment building?
Genuinely who the fuck is spending that much on a car? My wife and I make over $200k combined and we feel that buying a new Honda civic seems overly frivolous at like $23k. She has a 2006 Toyota because it still works fine.
And I’m truly not saying this to come off poorly, I just can’t believe that the average new car is $48k, that’s just insane. If I feel like it would set us relatively-lucky high-earners back to buy a new civic, who are these average people?
What does this have anything to do with economic systems? The problem is with a political system that allows such large scale corruption. When you have corruption and bribery in politics, this is the outcome, regardless of capitalism vs other.
If you got rid of capitalism but kept corrupt lifelong politicians, do you really think anything would be better? Capitalism is not the problem.
I mean that’s my disappointment with the new Tacoma that’s coming out soon. It’s great that they have a hybrid now, but it’s full of electronic crap now that used to be mostly isolated to certain components.
Now the entire gauge cluster is a screen, it’s sad.
I was legitimately going to buy a brand new one in the next year or two when I’m back in the US, and I’ve never bought a new car. now I guess I have to get a 2023 model or earlier. I bet any of the 2016-2023 generation lasts longer than the 2023-2030ish generation.
Honestly I don’t even like trucks but the biggest pull for me was that the Tacoma was still pretty old school for a new vehicle, and that it could go anywhere kinda rough.
