I'm not following the cost of parking comment. What does that have to do with the cost of cars?

  If you can afford parking in some cities, you probably aren't buying a cheap car. If you are, you probably are commuting or at some point driving enough to where you need to be able to get up to highway speeds, and are better off buying used. There is a market here for cheap city driving only cars, but it isn't terribly big, hence the trouble breaking into the US.

  For me at least, parking for 8 hours near my office (back when that was a thing) would cost more than taking the bus to work and back, meaning that from a commute point of view a car would never make financial sense no matter how cheap. If parking was free then a really cheap car for commuting might make sense, financially.
