Honestly, after looking at so many cars I believe that the reason cars are so expensive is because of all the economy cars adding things and trims to be "more sophisticated". If you look at a new Civic some of them are $23,000+. Who would pay that for a Civic? Honda could do that because they are solid cars that will last 15 years. Competitors threw back up cameras, navigation and the kitchen sink in their cars as incentive to get their less proven cars and raised the price to near the Civic.
Additionally, the quality of the cars are 10x better now than they have ever been. Even base cars are nice than Corvettes were in the 90's. Not only was the interior horrible looking, the stock seats sucked and it was so uncomfortable to drive long distances. Comparing a 4th gen to a 6th gen just shouldn't be done.
