China makes those too, while US automakers keep killing Corolla class cars in both ICE and EV form. I suspect the marketing all focuses on the higher end models because that's where the attention competition is. If you make a great subcompact class model, marketing is mostly a waste for those models as the cost/utility factor will drive the sales via word of mouth.
- whatever1 2y agoWho in the US would pay 20k for a new subcompact car when they can buy a spacious second hand Altima for 10k?
- bdcravens 2y agoA $10k Altima will have at least 100k miles and be at least 6-8 years old. (along with cleanliness, appearance, new features available, etc). There are a lot of good reasons to buy used, but the value assessment is more than just size and price.
