I think some folks are forgetting how low interest rates on new cars are. Throw 1.9% at $30,000 into some loan calculators. The difference between 48/60/72 months isn't that significant. Some places are offering even lower rates depending on the car.
My truck loan after down payment was about $30,000 and I did a 72 month loan because at my interest rate, it was a difference of a few hundred dollars over the life of the loan. (assuming I take the full loan term to pay it off, which is atypical) It makes me a lot more flexible with my money.
