Is Hummer the most expensive American made regular production vehicle? I think it is. If you compare it with other SUVs or cars, the $50K-$55K price is about midrange, absolutely not in the top price tier. I see more new RR, G500, X5, Lexus SUVs everywhere, all far more expensive than Hummer. IMHO, Hummer is exceptional value.
Drtyfn, yes, precisely, that house with the great wall near Ralston and Chattau. I see 40-50 Amigos working on the big stonewall everyday for over a year, just the wall. I was told at a party by friends next door to it that owner is a young guy and cost is $45M. Around that corner, 6-8(?) new houses are being built or just finished, all $10M-$20M range. Ralston has some huge houses behind iron gates and long driveways.
I read about high unemployment and sad stories, I am saddened and touched by them. but frankly, I do not know any person or case personally, everyone I know is still doing the same or better, still have jobs or still making millions a year.
