Maverick.
According to the American consumer, they are affordable, or else they wouldn't be the most popular new car.
Also, you were the one that brought up affordability.
I drive a 90s volvo and you can pry it from my cold dead hands. I have no intention of buying a new vehicle any time soon. It has nothing to do with me being out of touch and everything to do with statistics concerning vehicle sales.
The American consumer is swimming in debt. What new cars they buy is not indictive of affordable. Look at the loan lengths from 10 years ago to today. 72 month loans are now normal, and 84/96 is becoming more normal than they should.
We don't get the Maverick in right hand drive markets.
Yeah idk why I'd be comparing two American companies outside of the US. Fair enough I guess though...
Tesla sell everything except the Cybertruck in right hand drive, so I think it's a fair comparison.
