The news is in and it’s not news at all: new cars keep getting more expensive. It seems as if automakers keep raising the price on 2024 models, independent of inflationary trends. At the same time, automakers keep chopping low-volume and low-margin entry-level models from the lineup, such as on the 2024 Toyota Highlander.
