Also think registration fees shouldn't just be based on a year of a car. If someone has a 2020 Toyota Corolla why is registering it just as much as registering a 2020 Mercedes S63. I think generally economical cars should cost the lowest amount to register regardless of age.

It varies based on state. The more progressive states have a portion of their vehicle tax (aka registration fees) based on weight of the vehicle.
In one state where I lived, part of the car tax was a property tax based on some estimate of the value of the car.
