As a person who hates cars and think they are ludicrously expensive, I agree. My next car will be an e-bike if I can get away with it, because that's probably the closest thing there is to a $5000 reliable car.

On top of that, the slightest dent can't be popped or hammered out, and it just encourages the viewing of cars as lifestyle items rather than utilitarian ones.
