For several years now, as automakers discontinue their lower priced models, questions to them about “affordability” have been handwaved away with directions to those who can’t pay $40K for a car to “buy used”.
This piece was on the local news tonight, about automakers having trouble moving the really big, really expensive, models that are now the heart of their lineup, because so many other models have been dropped.
But watch the piece closely. It isn’t “news”. It is about a Memorial Day promotion at Stellantis promising big price cuts on specific Stellantis models. In other words, it is Stellantis advertising dressed up as news.
