Answers:

Wnich car last longer? honda? BMW?

The average annual income in 1955 was $3301.44. In 2005 it was $36,952.94. The average new car cost in the 1950's was $1750. Average cost in 2006 was $27,800. While cost to income has increased rather dramatically, you also have to look at what it buys now. Not only are the standard features available today high-end luxuries or non-existant options in the past, the safety features and advances in the last 50 plus years are worth the increase.
