Question, with today's cars being made safer, lighter, then why do they cost 4 times more than they did a couple of years ago? There's less material in them that's of any quality. New jeep grand Cherokee at $98,000. That's insane
I’d agree to safer and more expensive, but today’s vehicles are not lighter, they’re heavier - mostly because of safety and convenience features. The Grand Cherokee is a good example: 1st Gen 1993 Grand Cherokee 3574 lbs., 2022 model 4240 lbs.
Most cars today average 800-1200 lbs. more than their earlier counterparts... A new Challenger can weigh 4500 lbs!
