Hi guys, love your channel. I have a simple, straight forward question about ALL cars. What are your thoughts on how expensive the average car is nowadays? It's almost as if we're expected to spend $50K -$70K on a new vehicle. Is it just me? The prices are ridiculous all across the board. You want a new F150...of that's $80K +, you want a new Mazda Suv...oh thats $50K+...what the hell has happened to this industry? and yes, there are the odd cars that are very inexpensive, but that's not the norm. I own a 2017 Mazda 6, 6speed transmission, I bought it for $37,000 brand new, and this is their top of the line model....in the last few years, brand new cars have SKY rocketed in price. I'm going to keep my Mazda 6 for as long as I can

I've been hearing a lot of conversations about how the lower middle class and regular middle class are being left behind in many industries. Everything seems to be catered to upper middle class and beyond. It's not just cars either, many consumer goods are doing this. But it feels like paychecks aren't keeping up. I guess we're just supposed to buy used and be happy with that as our only affordable options. GM seems to be the only manufacturer trying to produce affordable vehicles, and even then they only have 1 option.

Great looking vehicle. As a Canadian feeling the pinch of inflation, high interest rates and prices, it saddens me that so many vehicles are out of my price range.

With more than 50% of the population living paycheck to paycheck, i find it puzzling how auto sales are improving.

Note what Toyota is doing here: depriving Canadians of the cheaper FWD version with Softex seats (which are excellent). Like many other auto companies we are given only the high end version of the vehicle. I though it would be 5K more than Venza Limited, but now I think they are going to try 56-58K.

@brucekalter42067 ай бұрын
Good preview. I like that you called them out for the high beltline that not only reduces arm comfort but also outward visibility. Same with the rear seat pillars; not great. As for pricing, it's going to be obviously a bit more than the Signia sedan, & so all signs point to most of these being in the $50K range (US), which is REALLY high for a Toyota!!! I like a lot about this car, but not thrilled with the price point and the claustrophobia. Maybe there will be better deals on the "regular" Crown "sedan." I especially like that the "sedan" comes with CLOTH seats!!!
