Hey Steve, Not sure anyone's showed you, but you know you can hit the "edit" button on your own posts and add to them instead of a string of 1 liners, right? Makes things much easier to read and less cluttered. (Not trying to be a smart*ss, just really trying to help.)
For the most part, Detroit has in modern times equated inexpensive with cheap. I find this strange, because the two most successful automobiles of all time (Model T and type 1 VW) were quality inexpensive cars that made their manufacturers billions of dollars. Lesson not learned.
You must be old if you remember those or even know what they were! I even remember one, "down the road lickety split, nice car wasn't it" !
I think I understand the point.....How would we know what is profitable if it has not been tried.....even though the last time it was tried proved the point. I'm not buying a new ANYTHING because it is ALL expensive junk regulated to death by agencies that know more than the manufacturer. We are even starting to see lawsuits on air bags designed 20 years ago and other car company nightmares that are driven by greed and deception. A cheap car like you are talking about is likely a thing of the past because everything has to be priced with the recall,legal fees,and other factors too numerous to mention. We did it to ourselves by continuing to buy the only options that we had.....The car is the new poor mans biggest liability.
There are cars, right now, that are as cheap as they have ever been, adjusted for inflation...and nobody wants to buy them. That is why plants are cutting production. ANYONE can buy a Ford Focus, built in Michigan, for $14K that gets 40 mpg, has PW/PL, and AC....I'm sure GM has an equivalent also....nobody wants them. Great value and the companies cannot give them away....
