>Since the economic crisis happened. I'm not even on my way to saving for my first car, and I'm already looking for cars under $10,000. I'm not sure if the economic crisis has anything to do with that. I haven't seen any major slashing of prices. Quite the opposite, in fact: Incentives and deals have disappeared, and the net cost has increased. >Most families that are not well off usually look for cars in the $20-30 grand range. So 41K is a lot - in today's terms. I don't think it's intending to compete with standard family vehicles. This is a very low quantity run, targeted at the sort of (young professionals) people who would likely have bought a VW TDI or something, where the price range isn't all that different.
