Always funny to see how out of touch journalists describing a new 500k car as if it was priced like a family SUV (six figures, the running costs for most luxury SUVs)

This sort of reality denial propaganda (inflation isn’t real) that journalists have is incredibly annoying (former journalist myself)

Always funny to see HN commenters treat "most luxury SUVs" as an equivalent class to "family SUVs" while making fun of “out of touch journalists” supposedly equating dissimilar vehicle classes.

The article is not describing that car as a "family priced". And you are not describing family car either, you are describing luxury car.

What does that have to do with inflation denial is a mystery.
