Let me add just a bit from my adventures. Average prices on a new car will start at roughly 27k. A moderately optioned car will run just below 40k. Your average traditional sized pick up truck will start at roughly 50k, without the v8 or incentives. Higher optioned trucks =watch out wallet and get ready to cut that check. I wasn't wholly surprised until I factored in the sales tax.

It's an unfortunate state of the market but it is is! What I am afraid of is a slowdown in a car genre or an economic downturn. The mfrs will need to be cautious and keep abreast of the steadily changing market.
