You would think a small affordable car that got great fuel mileage would be a strong seller to those with lower incomes. But history has proven those people are not concerned with the TOTAL price.......but the MONTHLY payment. Therefore rather than purchase the Corolla type efficient commuter one can spread an alternative massive total cost over 7 plus years and now get that AWD 4wd Turbo ect ect vehicle. Although with interest rates hikes, massive repossessions and way too many people with bad credit- more and more lending institutions are throttling down auto loans big time.
