 When did car manufacturers start listing their financed or leased pricing in terms of weekly instead of monthly? 
 The vehicle I purchased 7 years ago would now cost 70% more for the 2025 version with same/like options 
 I guess it changes in line with the state of fiat. 
 It changed when when the prices got so out of hand that the weekly prices need to be the same as the old monthly prices, it’s like a psychological trick. To make people think they aren’t getting raped. 
 Fiat is hitting the automotive market like a freight train. 
 When a RAV4 started costing $35k.

 As a fan of chairs and the RAV4, neither is worth the price. 

We were in a Toyota dealership yesterday. It was the nicest, most modern building I've maybe ever been in, and it wasn't a new building or owner. Nothing in there was more than a year or two old. There were about 30 employees just standing around with no customers. 

They sure are throwing around a lot of money for such a struggling industry.
