> [@PJB"](#): > > I loved my Hyundai and it was a good priced car loaded up with options. It had a $14k sticker price and had power windows, locks, ac, cruise, cd, etc. A base model Cobalt or Focus 4 door cost more. > > GM, Ford, Chrysler, etc need to price their cars better to sell more. Its not the price, its the quality. If people know they are getting a car that will last them 10 years without problems theyll pay more. Thats the reason the Camry is the top selling car just about every year. Sure its a little more expensive then some of its competitors but people know they can buy them, drive them for 10-15 years, and then hand it down to their kids, grandkids and buy themselves another Camry. A $10k car wouldnt do anyone any good if it was going to break down and be a POS ---
