True: people can afford $X/month. The proportion that goes towards interest is less relevant.
In fact, I'd prefer a lower sticker price & higher interest rate to get to $X. That way when interest rates inevitably drop at some point I can refi at the lower rate and get the partial benefits of both lower sticker $ and interest %.
