Holy shit the want is real. Having driven and thoroughly enjoyed the best driving hatch back ever (megane) these baguette bangers really did it again.
Looks really great, only weighs 2400lbs 205s up front but with little weight doesn’t really matter.

Can’t believe a gayman weighs 700lbs more. :mindblown:
Too bad we don’t get this :(
Yep I love this car.

It's priced identical to a base Cayman over there, so like $55k starting. I sat in one and loved it :doe:

It's way more roomy/comfy than I expected. Nothing like getting into an Elise. It feels like a real car. Image

My "favorite" :doge: :dillerman: has ~150 JLs on the lot, and ~40 JKs. :wtf: that is a shit ton of inventory, and they are all 2018 models as for some strange reason :jeep: is not making any 2019s yet.

JLs have 5500-6500 on the hood
JK have 6500-7000 you can get a really nicely optioned JK in the mid/high 20s

I think FCA may have flooded the market... and the real :dill: 's will start happening soon.

FYI APR is now 4.22 for 24-60 months. At this point paying cash makes more sense than getting a loan. That's a shitty ass rate.

I would wager the poors that have no business owning a wrangler are starting to get priced out because "the payment doesn't fit my budget" due to the higher interest rates. Gone are the 0/1.9 72-84 loans...

Time for 96 month loans! Or more subprime borrower discounts.

I'd be surprised if Wrangler resale doesn't drop in the next year. Subaru WRX's used to have stupid high resales because there weren't a ton of them made each year. Subaru figured the supply problem out for the VA chassis and flooded the market so to speak, so now resales are a lot less than they had been historically. I see the same happening to the Wranglers. There was never this much manufacturer support for them.

No one is going to finance 96 months under 10% so it strips out the demand from :dillerman: trying to sell to all those people who have no business in said vehicles to begin with.
WRXs are old now, and that market is saturated. They have been unchanged for 5 model years now... most people are :aintcare: about them.
