what the fuck is the problem?

The Chevy Aveo is the most recent Metro-esque vehicle.

yeah we should all drive awful tin cans that kill you in low speed accidents and by time the crash happens youre ready to die because the car is miserable to be in

Yeah most cars out there are overpriced, but you can still find good deals on new cars if you pay attention to manufacturer rebates and local stealership offers. I got a 2017 optioned sedan for only 17k out the door. If you take the time to educate yourself on what each trim level actually gets you, you would be surprised how much you can get for the money by choosing a trim package that isn't advertised as much.

A lot of weight and extras are put on in the name of safety. More weight means more power needed, more power means more tech/size/decreases to mpg. Government mandates absolutely kill a concept or design

I drove a 3cyl Metro and I hated it. Almost crashed it actually. Probably should've

But I agree, you're not completely wrong

adjusted for inflation the Sonic is $4,000 more and has entertainment safety and accelerates fast enough to make you not die of old age on a slight incline

also more luxuries than a fully loaded Metro

nobody wants a shitty car these days except a few nutcases

Moshi moshi shitbox desu

inflation, weak dollar, auto manufacturers don't want to make high volume low margin shitcans, my dog can go into a dealership and get financing, good fuel and safety cost money to engineer and are in style/demanded by the gov, shitcans are shit and nobody wants shit, the metro getting 30+ mpg is a lie told to you by optimistic hypermilers based on fantasy and outdated tests.

did i miss anything?

I would pay $4000 less to not have those luxuries. I don't care for them. My friends don't care for them. We put the AC on and talk to eachother. All a car needs is AC, heating, some form of seat adjustment, power mirros (can be essential for parking with modern SAFETY blind spots), trunk space, four seats, and a radio with an AUX jack. Bluetooth if you're fancy. Some weird USB connection shit if you're fucking weird.

So, really, a base model corolla

Which costs far too much for being a base model corolla

With all regulations cars probably are just more expensive. Where I live somewhere in EU. The cheapest car is like 11K Euro and you get a VW Up. The cheapest is close to 10K euro, it's a Suzuki Celerio. 10K!!! WTF you can buy a handsome secondhand car for that money.
