Is that why a American
vehicle like a Chevey surburban or escalade costs as much as a "starter home" in my area costs?

I find it mind-boggling that anyone can conceive of housing under $200,000, but hey, I live in the heart of the city.

But yes, it does seem rather oddly out of balance, though in that respect, it is the starter home that seems underpriced.

And the problem with the Big-Three automakers is not 'sticker-shock' at all since Nissan, BMW and Mercedes are all doing very, very well in the US market selling similarly priced products. It is all about quality and the product itself (much like the music industry's woes - entirely of their own creation and highly related to their business model itself).
