- SketchySeaBeast 3y agoI'm not sure the history of the Maxima, but in 1992 it was being marketed as a "four-door sports car", which doesn't sound the bottom of the market to me. It sounds like a bad example either way. Maybe a better example would be the Nissan Altima, which was available in 1993 for $13,349[1] and would cost (according to the calculator here[2]) ~$28,000 in today's dollars [1] https://www.cargurus.com/research/1993-Nissan-Altima-c3078 https://www.cargurus.com/research/1993-Nissan-Altima-c3078 [2] https://www.calculator.net/inflation-calculator.html https://www.calculator.net/inflation-calculator.html
- pcurve 3y agoYeah I didn't mean to imply the Maxima was basic. In fact, I meant the opposite, because it costs $43k in today's money, yet hardly came with any features that you'd find in today's $30k cars.
- SketchySeaBeast 3y agoAh, ok, I was confused as to the point.
