Since we know the numbers are going to suck since Peppermint Patty is leading the Amen Corner Media to blame Putin for it:

Frankly, I prefer my spaceship to have big tits and not fake inflated ones.

EDIT - numbers drop:
America goes back to the 80s: Surging gas prices and higher rents push inflation to 41-year high of 8.5% as White House blames it on Putin invading Ukraine
The consumer price index rose 8.5% in March from a year ago, the fastest increase since December 1981
Housing costs, which make up about a third of the index, have escalated and show no signs of cooling
Gasoline prices soared 49% in March from a year ago as the war in Ukraine rocked energy markets
Biden's administration tried to get ahead of the dire inflation news by blaming Russian leader Vladimir Putin
But Republicans place the blame for soaring prices on 'Democrats' reckless spending and failed policies'

Donnie TACOed bigly, so they weren't wrong per sey if they commented on the original Kinko board BBTs, not tacoed-down version we got ultimately. And while not exactly $10K some cars I was looking at did go up solid $5K between 24 and 25 MY (like Subie WRX, for example) with the new BBTs in place.


Funny. All the data says that new car prices increased less than the CPI for the year.

December 2025 (KBB): Average MSRP up 1.2% YoY.
July 2025 (Cox): Average MSRP up 2.4% YoY (largest gain in 2025).
Early 2025 (Cox): Prices were up 1.3% YoY in April, with significant month-over-month jumps.

Yeah, it's like measuring average body temperature for the whole hospital population to refute claim that some patients have fever and some are currently at 0F (the ones in the morgue).

And since when we believe in the government BS aka "stats", especially after the long shutdown which stopped most of data gathering and processing? They can cook whatever numbers they want but the fucking WRX is indeed $5K more, go check for yourself.
