I doubt it’s true but if so it’s because ice cars are unnecessarily complex . We could easily make quality ice cars for $12-$15k retail price

  Modern vehicles today are “complex” because apparently car manufacturer focus groups tell them the consumer want more tech junk in their vehicle. Consumers apparently want “sAfEr” vehicles in the form of LaRgEr Is SaFeR. More resources to build each vehicle. Higher costs of production. Car manufacturers need to often farm out the technical aspects as well and need to license the tech. More sensors and cameras. More and more points of failure. Reliability of vehicles is dropping. Wasteful idiots trading in vehicles more often. It’s disgusting.

    I'm glad other people recognize the problem. What can we do? Apparently, we are a minority in the car market who are looking for simplicity, reliability, drivability. I've been holding onto an old vehicle now for some time and the car market has only worsened. When the 2016 Miata was released, I had hoped for a resurgence in simple sportiness. Recently Toyota released a light truck IMV-0 . I can't think of too many elegant vehicles out there otherwise.

    I think increasingly only 'whales' buy new. This is especially true for trucks. Whales don't do basic cost vs utility analysis, love bling, and make purchase decisions for socio-emotional reasons.
