Baltimore bridge collapse has automakers scrambling at nation's biggest port for cars - Autoblog (www.autoblog.com)

I didn't realize Baltimore was so important for the car market of the Midwest and East Coast. Apparently 800,000+ cars are delivered per year through the Port of Baltimore, but with the bridge collapse today it sounds like shipments could cause some car market issues for a swath of the country.

Chevy TRAX, Ford Maverick, Honda Accord Hybrid, Corolla Hybrid are all $23k or less brand new.

They're pretty much entry level interiors and ~10-second 0-to-60 engines (rather slow), and are also quite popular. Weird of Ford to make their entry-level model a truck but they're just taking advantage of their pro-Truck reputation. Its really Ford's entry level car.

It seems like that's not even true anymore. The Maverick starts at 25k now, the Corolla hybrid is 26k, and the Accord hybrid is 27-28k. This is saddening to me.
