Will never understand why people pay $70k for a truck. A TRUCK!
Meanwhile, I drive my creaky, 18 year old Subaru Legacy GT Turbo Wagon with 258k miles. But no $600+/month payments!
CAFE led to high costs via taxes. And then the automakers focused on the elite buyers who want more because they create the most profit.
Those with the last profit are the fleets. Focus on maximum revenue with the people who will spend the most, and it’s not fleets.
CAFE ballooned the size of trucks. Now some “trucks” are just jacked-up cars.
