“Tell me again, exactly why a new pickup truck should cost between $45K - $55K dollars. RIP OFF!!!!”
Simple. The car companies are required to fold-in the cost of developing and then selling their ‘green models’, else they get hit with huge fines.
You’re paying for them.
Check out the prices on GM’s Tahoe/Yukon/Escalade family of SUV’s.
They took a precipitous jump when the latest versions were introduced a few years ago.
I asked a dealer about the big price jump:.......”Chevy Volt”.
Shame that they won’t let the companies count CAFE compliance based on their global lineup, versus their US lineup.
The US market is still for larger, more powerful cars & trucks - despite the environmental activists push for 4bangers & turbos.
Personally, that wouldn’t be me as I would never buy new, nor would I ever volunteer to be robbed at gun point.
These are precisely the types of regulations Trump and the GOP need to kill.
Ummm. Health care and retirement for the UNION employee’s is what you are paying for.
