Who can even afford a new car anyways. Big auto is so deluded and none of them will make a budget everyman car any more. I don't need your patented this or that and ultra spytech computer and head unit. Just basic time proven engine design and entry level for everything else. And an electric version with the same design principles. But obviously it's not proprietary and anti right to repair enough for corporate bigwigs.
Chevy TRAX, Ford Maverick, Honda Accord Hybrid, Corolla Hybrid are all $23k or less brand new.
They're pretty much entry level interiors and ~10-second 0-to-60 engines (rather slow), and are also quite popular. Weird of Ford to make their entry-level model a truck but they're just taking advantage of their pro-Truck reputation. Its really Ford's entry level car.
It seems like that's not even true anymore. The Maverick starts at 25k now, the Corolla hybrid is 26k, and the Accord hybrid is 27-28k. This is saddening to me.
