I don’t. I would gladly purchase a small practical brand new kei car if I could.
Given the choice between a $35k sedan and a $40k SUV the choice is going to be SUV for most people.
Given the choice between a $15k sedan and a $40k SUV, it gets a lot more interesting.
The US car market is incredibly restricted. You can buy a 300 mile range electric sedan for $25k in China. Why the fuck can’t we get that in North America?
- kjkjadksj 3y agoYou kind of can. Chevy bolt ev is $26k and 260 miles. That’s probably cheaper relatively speaking than the $25k china ev when you account for wages.
- dghlsakjg 3y agoI should have specified that $25k is for a nicely optioned Chinese Buick, not a base level chevy that has a year+ waiting list where I am (Canada). Bare bones 300 mile cars like the BYD Dolphin cost $16.9k. They also have a model called the Seagull that is 250 mile at ~$11k. I would buy either of those in cash, today, if I could.
