Looks like tariffs may be circling the drain on their way to the sewer system. That will change car (and so many other) prices.

Now let's see what our Supreme Court does. So far they've been ... yee haw.
OP
That's why I'm waiting. Ford has some 0% financing that makes me drool.
My Taurus died late last year, and I ended up with a Volkswagen Taos that I'm very happy with. I looked at the Maverick and wanted it, but the Taos gets better fuel economy and is more practical. I very much Bought before the tariffs started hitting, but I wish I could've held off another year..
At the end of the day, the Maverick just didn't give me the perception of long-term quality; it looks just like every other Ford I've ever driven and felt like it inside. Dumb things like the paint on the bottom of the bed just weren't done – it looked like a budget economy car wearing a $38,000 price tag.
I'd still get a Volkswagen today if I had to get another car, but the other one that would give me pause and was a very strong contender was the new model Nissan frontier.

If you haven't already and can, buy the extended warranty on the Taos. The day the warranty expires, trade it in. VWs are not horribly unreliable, but they are horribly expensive to fix if not in warranty.
The same advice applies to any Jeep vehicle.

I'll discuss with my mechanic and my chauffeur if they think I should wait until after October for buying a new Rolls Royce.
Oh, the Cuck is loaded up with warranties. It's a Jetta powertrain in a compact SUV body…a car and a truck…the Cuck!
I'm averaging 38mpg, have around 9000 miles on it, and am very satisfied. It's moved a decent-sized safe and plenty of household stuff with the rear seats down.
Now as far as "impressive" efficiency goes…gotta give it to my wife's Jetta. Gas 1.4L turbo, thing absolutely sprints through West Texas in the summer with ice-cold A/C, 95mph and 42mpg; oil temps 235ish in the day.
Well put... Aptly phrased...
