- avidiax 3y agoYes, because I enjoy an economy 4 door twice as much now that they cost twice what they used to. Now I have Bluetooth, a rear view camera, increased fuel economy and improved crash protection. Today, if I get t-boned by a lifted F-350, I'll die in a hospital instead of on the road, and you can't put a price on that.
