    Inflation! $50k in 2025 is $36k in 2015. Add a little price gouging, tariffs, and more “safety features” and this is what you get. Not really surprising.

      Yes. Reporting nominal prices as record highs is just headlines for uneducated people.

      I demand only to be clickbaited after they’ve accounted for inflation.

    Can we please start making more bike-cars and walking bikes that are both affordable, go very far, and have plenty of storage. Those would help so much

      Price of gas just went up overnight which got me thinking how silly it is that gasoline is priced by supply/demand when everybody needs it and isn’t going to buy less of it because it’s too expensive.

    I was interested in what the cheapest new car was in the US, and apparently you can get a Nissan Versa brand new for just over $18,000. I would love to know how many cars are available below that $50k average sold price. There were even some SUVs under 20k, but as the article stated, it’s mostly rich people throwing off these stats.
