The people who buy toward the higher end of the car market are not affected by the pandemic
Normal people aren’t buying but are virtually ignored by the car makers anyway
Also we have been exporting record numbers of used and junk cars that pulls the bottom out of the market leaving only $$$$ examples.
It’s worth noting that a the pandemic has allowed many industries to pull record profits if their cost goes up 6% they can raise their price 12-18%
Most places haven’t had the opportunity to inflate prices like this in decades
Right now it’s similar to 1979, 18% loans were common back then
