No you are wrong because you used a blanket statement thinking that would cover all vehicles. It does not as I just showed. You said:

The kind of new car $20k bought back in year 2000 approximates the class of new car you can buy now for $30k.

Well I showed you two vehicles, a Civic and a WRX STI. One was under $20k so that should put it at just under $30k with your logic, and the other was just over $30k which should put it at just over $40k. But guess what? Your logic failed since it wasn't based on reality. Yes there are cars that have had their prices increase over the years. But along with that comes more standard features. Also there are several examples where the price has not increased. Sorry, but you are still wrong with your blanket statement. The correct answer is: "some vehicles have seen steadily increases in the cost of the vehicle over the years whereas other cars have not seen such a drastic increase in cost and have actually stayed below in the increase in inflation." Want to try again?
Btw Ryephile, since when wasn't the WRX STI a sports car?

Likewise for me. Unless $25k includes Recaros and HIDs, no way I will pay that much for this car.
