What would cars cost if they left off the silly frills?

I think an automatic tranny is truly useful but power steering, brakes,
and windows are a joke. Same with tinted glass and fancy paint jobs
and a million other doodads like the warning light for the windshield
washer fluid and turn signals emebedded in the side mirrors. No
question to me but that it's a conspiracy. They add all these gadgets
and make a 30% profit on each one. And more money when the damn things
go bad .

Most americans are not loonybirds who fall in love with cars. We jsut
want a vehicle that gets us from A to B and there is no reason why a
perfectly functional brand new car should cost over $5,000.

Most Americans aren't lazy, deluded welfare retards like you are. We go
to work, we pay for a car that has the features we want and need,
providing jobs to the people who *build* the cars, and when they turn
into worn out pieces of ****, sell them to losers like youself.
Have a good weekend, moron!

Every company makes ~30% on every product. That is economics.
Get over it. Besides, an automatic transmission is the most
wasteful thing on the car.

Go buy a motorcycle.

I have not checked the price of the low power end of motorcycles lately, but
it seems that motorcycle start at about $10K if they have enough power for
freeway commuting. Most people want to only buy high powered motorcycles.

The sticker price on my BMW motorcycle was about $16.5K. It dropped to
$15K with a discount for paying cash and another deduction for working for
the company I work at. Never figured out the deduction for working at
certain companies.

By the way, if you want to know why brand new cars are so expensive, as
well as why jobs are going overseas, talk to a union employee.

Please cite where automotive jobs are going overseas. The opposite has
occured -- foreign auto manufacturers are investing on US soil. Toyota
and Hyundai are two major examples.

I doubt unions have much effect on the price of cars.

The US auto industry has been sucking wind for decades because the
management at the car companies had a lack of foresight and poor long term
strategies (GM and Ford falling behind Toyota and Honda on hybrid
technology, for instance, being the latest example).

Actually, the Japanese are building cars in the US because labor in the US
can be cheaper than in Japan.

Agreed. And power steering and brakes are important safety features.

My friend has a Buell Blast motorcycle that cost around $3000. He rides it
on I-540 all the time, it will cruise at high speeds with no problem.

I'm sure a big wheel is even too much for the OP to handle ;^)
