Some yes, and some no. Are they a lot more expensive than they were 20 years ago? Yup. Adding inflation and new amenities, crash test standards and safer cars, more power and generally better economy are they? Not so much.

Heavily depends on what you're in the market for.

A light duty truck? Yeah...they'll take you to the cleaners.

A nice (not luxury) sedan for getting around daily? Very reasonable.

Well we know one from the factory will be a hell of a lot cheaper than getting one custom installed by any company. I don't see it being $25k for the V8 option, but not sure how much less they'll price point it at.
