That’s no surprise to me. I read that they now have sub prime loans for car buyers. In my area I see loads of very new cars all around me. Everybody and their uncle must have bought a new car in the last 3-5 years.
It must be 75% to 90% newer cars out there. Another thing I noticed. A VERY VERY big increase of American tagged cars on the road. Dodges, Chryslers, Fords, Buicks, Chevys, Jeeps etc. And another thing. HUGE V-8 four wheel drive American pick up trucks and vans.
It looks like a lot more people don’t care about gas mileage anymore. They all must have gotten used to $4/gallon? Or they all got tired of driving those crappy tiny under powered Jap and Korean gas saver cars. They all look the same. They are like appliances. Or Bic lighters. Crappy image cars.
Also, many people with plenty of money, know they can’t take it with them to the happy hunting grounds.
Anybody else out there notice all those huge Suburbans, Tahoes, Yukons Lincoln Navigators out there?? I also noticed lately HUGE Honda and Nissan SUVs.
