Hopefully this will drive car makers to make simpler and more affordable cars.
Or here's a crazy idea... Public transportation and pedestrian infrastructure could be vastly improved so that we don't have to depend on cars as much...
Most American companies have ceased production of small cars in favor of giant trucks and SUVs.
"Affordable" American cars are used cars. New cars chase fads and trends to sell to the wealthy.
