I hear ya. Think about this, though. C&D Top 10 has always had the cutoff be 2.5X the average car price. It is so high now, that the cutoff for the the last Top 10 awards goes to $110k.

The $60k I paid for the LR4 in 2013 is in the low 80s now using a generic inflation calculator. Realistically, it would probably cost closer to $90k to buy an equivalent now.
