Some analysts believe that in another 5-10 years in the US, you'll get if not quite a $5K USD car off the Internet, a $10K USD car from a Chinese manufacturer, and the Detroit automakers will reprise their arrogance-into-bankruptcy role from the 70's again when Japanese cars entered the US market, when they famously remarked the new entrants can have that cheap unit market.
