The Scottish themed Chrysler New Yorker Highlander had them in 1940, and I'm sure there's plenty of examples from earlier coach built luxury cars. 

Clearly, women are being treated poorly at dealerships... but they are not alone. Dealerships are pretty much a equal-opprptunity-rippoff for anyone.

I thought there was 100% gender equality in the car buying market and everyone gets treated poorly?

i kinda like this.  (white interior one)

Change them to pink, that’ll get you typical Charger driver to take them off real fast. 

Actually in our small one horse town, I will be driving it whenever the roads are dry and the sun is shining.  At least until the first gremlin shows his head.

Come to the DC Metro area, it is even worse.

“Yes, I’m judging that vaping douche-book by its cover, but I can’t imagine that all those jabronis have the finances to actually afford one of those things.”

“Most cars start getting unreliable just over 100K.”

Yea, here in Colorado you see all these new cars and trucks as well as every single new home built starts in the 400s. Almost half a million dollars for a generic, normal size home that cost around 120k new in the late 90's.

Those that are middle class can afford a $70k car.

always wondered how it’s possible that I see so many brand new trucks and SUVs driving around. Most aren’t below $50k brand new and many are more like $70k.

Are you sure you don’t want a silver crossover with a CVT? The car manufacturers think you do.

I used to think leasing was how they did it but then you look at the lease prices and choke since they aren’t that much cheaper if at all so the question is still there - how the heck to these people justify to themselves spending massive money on Suburbans and Yukons for example. Do they eat out less? Take zero…

I suspect the next generation of vehicles will mitigate this by charging money for software/infotainment/autonomous driving updates. This way car companies can get continuing revenue from a vehicle sale 6 years ago. This is what every software company does.

I agree that cars are being built much better now and do last longer, but their is so much tech. built into them they’re becoming dated quicker (sort of like comparing an iPhone 6 vs. an iPhone 11). As a guy who likes to DIY, the new tech. scares me.

I know someone who spent significantly more than their yearly salary on a USED vehicle.

7 year loans.

I don’t expect to participate in the auto market any time soon and there are a multitude of reasons. But mostly I don’t feel like the market wants me to participate in it.
