I'm sure this is the same age old question, but how IN DEBT are people on average, to be able to own the car that they want?

Even at my income level, which by normal standards would support purchasing something like this, it's hard to believe that the market is now going to support $100k + grocery getter commuter 1/2 ton pickup

Must be showing my age now, lol, or people are dumber than even I give them credit for.

Idk, man, we're in one of the highest income areas of the country and I don't see it. This is not good for the economy, if the _______ (insert whomever you blame for this) push the affordability of everything we need above the means of the average person.

Hear you Dog and agree. Our 'forever' car bought new in 2019 (Yoda Highlander Limited) for 44K now starts at 48K. The manufacturers do it because they can....with the help of a financial services industry that's more like a mafia loan shark with 72 months and greater financing. And we both know they don't teach kitchen table economics in school.

And that’s $44k for a midsize suv! Of course a very nice one, but really? That’s my point. I agree with you wholly. And I will bet anyone now that the “$40k” silverEEEEdo that is supposedly in the works will not materialize.
