It feels like in the US way more often than ever before people are buying in the luxury/premium car space. I stay exclusively on the cheap end because it's all I need. The options for new economy cars shrink every year, but there's a million pickup and SUV options. It seems normalized to spend way more on a car than you really need, partially because financing is offered on ridiculously long terms (5+ years) for a depreciating asset.
