re: New cars, once part of the American dream, now out of reach for many

Jeeps and trucks have escalated in price so much.

jeeps have been like this for decades. A 20 year old jeep holds its value better than 90% of other vehicles. I never understood it but they have always been in high demand. Trucks outsold cars for the first time in 2020. Americans want trucks over passenger cars for various reasons that I don't really understand. I drive a truck because its comfortable and occasionally I need to haul a big sheet of plywood or a bunch if trash. But most suburban people should be in a camry or accord imo.

My local chevy dealer has finally started having more than 3 or 4 new vehicles in stock. They have around 100 now. All trucks except a few camaros and corvettes
