Don't know about the car LOTS, but the car ADS around here (east Tennessee) are shouting on TV about how they will buy ANY used car and what special deals they have on new or used cars. Sounds like desperation for turnover to me. The cars are there, but a new emphasis on used cars. I've read elsewhere that computer chips are hard to come by now, and that many manufacturers have unsold trucks and SUVs sitting on their factory lots, that don't have the modern bells and whistles.
My personal thought is that if an EMP strike were to ever hit America, the more basic the vehicle, the more likely it would be unaffected by EMP.

Can't they sell them without the computer chips??? I hate those things!
Well then, things like GPS, radio, cruise control, etc. Would not work.
but... can you DRIVE it??? I can do without the rest... :) I have my phone for radio and GPS.. :)
You'd have to take that up with the car dealers. I'm just telling you what I know about this.
