Got a feeling the tech would get cheaper...

Posted by ghost of olddude55 on June 7, 2021 at 14:26:14:
if enough people start refusing to pay $35k for a Buick Encore, or $30K for a Ford Escape.
Or $40K for a Toyota RAV4.
Or $35K for a Nissan Rogue with FWD. That's how much the mid-level trimmed Rogue costs without AWD.
You get the picture. As long as the rubes keep ponying up more money over longer repayment periods, that tech is only going to get more expensive.
First year Venues, base model had a 6-speed manual. Too bad Hyundai no longer offers it. Their CVT is better than Nissan's, but it's still a CVT.
I could accept the loss of fun, it's the lack of longevity and the expense of repair that scares me off.
