Here's my beef, in Canadian $:

1988 - Chevy Cavalier base model was 9800$.
1988 - Chevy 1500 W/T 2wd base model 11,000$.

2005 - Chevy Cavalier base model is about 16,000$
2005 - Chevy 1500 W/T 2wd base model list 24,995$

Do some math there and you'll see why I'm pissed. Both have gone from no air bags, no abs, simple fuel injection to all the new fancy expected stuff. The car did it for less than double, the truck has more than doubled.

I read a good article a couple of years ago on Chysler. At the time a Grand Cherokee cost them less than 500$ more to make than the Neon. They profit margin on the neon was less than 500$ for the Corperation. The margin on the Grand would have been 8000$ or something like that. It was all about demand in the market.
