$30k vehicles are cheap these days. My mouth dropped when I was at the auto show and seeing SUVs like navigator and escalade with price of $80k+

The median new car price is quickly approaching $40k. Probably 65% or so of new cars cost more than $30k.

Navigators and Escalades are luxury SUVs. Of course those are going to cost a lot.

In the UK in recent years there has been a big increase in lease-to-buy deals where the consumer can return the car and walk away. The car finance companies seem to be in the riskiest position.

People stop with all the fear mongering and there's another decade of slow and steady growth.
