I am probably in the minority (definitely, on this site) on this, but I am of the belief that prices are never coming back down. At least not any noticeable amount. A new baseline has been set.

“Triggered”?

Strong disagree. The only reason one would buy this is to be seen. It’s not fast. It’s not practical. It’s... not particularly good at being at most things people want their cars to do. The only thing this car does well is be seen.

Right, but has he really considered the 4Runner?

this. but also, if they’re expecting ppl to exchange their int’l trips for more ‘modest’ domestic vacations that would probably offset the volume of vacationers who don’t care to spend the extra $50 on gas.

Seriously, what a bullshit excuse.  I look forward to Internet sleuthing finding out that everyone quoted in that article is actually a local GOP rep.

“[You can hold your Range Rover reliability jokes for now. This is a new car. I (and everyone else on Earth) have no idea how it will hold up mechanically.]”

The level of risk to the under 5 crowd from COVID is extremely low. Much lower than many other diseases they already were at risk of getting that didn’t prompt the CDC to use emergency powers.

Generally I agree. Most folks here seem to be thinking cars should be priced like they were 20 years ago.

But are we all supposed to go through life like it’s March 2020 for the rest of our lives? Is that their solution?

Children under 5 are at the same risk of complications of covid as vaccinated people in their 30s unless they are immunocompromised. So this is not a group that needs to be taken into account when making these sorts of policies. Sorry. That’s just not the science. 

Came here to say this. Do a little research on KBB or your car selling website of choice before voting. The Stinger was a touch over the KBB price for my area, but I still voted NP.

Okay, so I’m going to use my “Asshole?” card for the week here.

We really did have it all, didn’t we?

@1st gear: that’s one of the dumbest takes on Morning Shift in...I guess a few days. The Hongguang Mini isn’t even close to the Tesla Model 3 in terms of capability nor price. So the big news is that a small EV that wouldn’t be road-legal in many countries including the US, sells for about 1/10th the price of a Model…

This 2018 Kia Stinger GT is rear-wheel-drive only, which makes it slightly less confidence-inspiring  way more fun on the road. FTFY.

Virtue signaling wins for you in the end i guess. or you could just cover your whole face and make everyone happy!

Or heres a novel idea: Let people decide for themselves...

Why are you saying yourself and others should wear masks? Why are you saying yourself and others should get the vaccine? To prevent people from dying of COVID!!!!!

Thank goodness... Took em long enough. Most of us have been maskless for more than a year now. Everyone should just worry about themselves.
