Sorry, you're on your own.
My first car was a '66 Mustang...
and I won't be drawn into some silly debate as to whether a '64 VW or an '05 Kia is "better".
As far as I'm concerned, they're BOTH imported crap.
I was talking about real income between then and now.
My point is that the entire issue of which car is better is meaningless. It is the purchase price that matters. And that has not changed while the ability of the average American to pay it has.
