    I’m not sure how it goes with tariffs, conversation rates and whatnot but in last I checked the low end cars in Europe started from way under 20k, Kia picanto for example is 18k

    And that’s brand spanking new cars, that are always a bad deal. Few years older and you can drop half the price for basically still a new car

      The US is almost devoid of subcompacts. Because when gas prices go down stupid people decide they don’t need them and buy bigger vehicles. And most companies have stopped making them or importing them.

        I’m one of the rare few people on the road with a Mitsubishi Mirage. I’d get a kei car if I could though.
