Americans can no longer afford their cars.

This sort of thing impacts affordability. Same make and model, 30 years apart:

Americans are feeling much more upbeat about the economy. Consumer confidence has surged 29% since November, the biggest two-month gain since 1991.

From an old post on Audiokarma:

Around 2005 I overheard two Americans talking during a smoke break.

"All I want is < long pause > a truck! Just a truck!"

"I know what you mean"

"It doesn't have to be eight feet tall!"

"Nope"

"It doesn't have to have four hundred horsepower"

"Uh-Uh"

"And it sure doesn't need to cost me an arm and a leg"

"Hell, no"

"But try finding one. They don't make 'em anymore"

"Nope"

and things have not gotten better since 2005
