You'd think with real estate prices and shit income levels in general here that wouldn't be possible.

My inlaws just totalled their car earlier this week. I went to shop for a new car for them and they ended up with a new X1.
The price before fees and taxes was just shy of 50k. It's just shy of 60k all said and done.
You can argue but that's a BMW. A new Rav4 Hybrid is over 45k to start and well in the 50k range out the door, if you can get one that is. That's not counting most people can't be seen in anything less than a Mercedes, plus the inflated price of any EV. Yeah I can see it.
A bit more on the X1 though. It's basically almost the same as our X3, but just in a smaller form factor. I can't believe it's that expensive because our X3 was 53k before taxes and fees, and also right around 60k all said and done. With the higher rates, the X1 is actually significantly more expensive than our X3 is.
