FAIL.

Consumers rely on car financing more than ever

Loans now average $457 with payments over 65 months, putting the average amount financed on a new car at $26,526.

Subprime loans to customers with less than a 680 credit score saw an increase, rising from 25.4 percent of loans last year to 27.5 percent in 2013.

Extending payments past four years, and well beyond the typical new-car bumper-to-bumper warranty, suggests people are buying more car than they can arguably afford.

The future's so bright I gotta wear 27.5% subprime shades!
