New Dodge Truck

Holly Sticker Shock! Went to look at a new truck. WTF. They want 28k for a STL reg cab 5.7. 32K for a slt QC with a 5.7. I know dodge is not the only one but WOW. I could buy a the new Crossfire or a 300 or a new Mustang for the same price. I never thought I could get a nice BMW, Lexus or Benz for the same price as a stripped down 3/4 ton diesel. When you can buy a vette cheaper than you can buy a truck something is wrong. I have never owned a car on the street and I might not like it but I feel like I have no other choice.
