62 This is a great visual of what nonsense the CPI is. New car prices supposedly basically unchanged from 1995 until early 2021, now spiking. CPI is not just some math geeks' model, it's become an exceedingly misleading and dangerous tool.

Someone help me with this. I feel like normal cars were in the $20-$27K range and normie luxury cars were $30-$37K pretty much all my life. There’s a steady upward trend but it’s been fairly stable for like 20+ years. Am I wrong?
I think everyone has their own basket of inflated purchases.
In my case : a 1999 fully loaded suburban was like $35,000
2013 suburban LTZ was $57,000
2022? $80,000+
