I'm really beginning to warm up to the Z Sport. Over $12k cheaper and has the same 400hp?When I was younger, it wasn't uncommon for people to buy base model and economy cars. Then something happened, and I feel like big spending on higher trims/models and loaded vehicles became more of a cultural "thing".
It's no exaggeration to say, I probably have the lowest cost new vehicle in my entire middle class neighborhood. My neighbors are driving around in vehicles that cost at least three times as much. And not because they are rolling in cash, but because it's like an expected norm to spend bigger these days on vehicles.
For that reason, even if we see constraints lessen and production increase, this big spending habit I think is going to still drive higher prices to some extent. Some of these people could be living on peanut butter sandwiches, and they'd still be blowing 50k on a new car!
I think I can live with the lower trim Z no prob
