Absolutely fake. The big problem with SoKo market is $5/gallon gas, not tariffs.
Chevy Malibu sells for USD 21,000 - USD 35,000 depending on the model
Impala sells for USD 33,000 at the base model (there's actually a waiting list for Impalas)
etc, etc.
Compare that to local cars like
Sonata, which goes for $20,000 to $30,000
or a Genesis which goes for $45,000 to $70,000
