[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe the solution is not buy an Audi. I bought a new Hyundai SUV last year for about $27k. Probably not the car OP wants, but it has a ton of safety features that you have to pay extra for in some other cars and I’m happy. [/quote]

+1. Subarus are also good alternatives -- safe, reliable, good family cars. I've also driven Toyotas and liked them.

Luxury vehicles are marketed to people with cash to burn. Top earners in this country are sitting on houses they bought or refinanced at 2%, that have appreciated 20-30% since they bought. They've seen salary increases and record bonuses. The luxury car market is competing for their dollars and also know they'll pay extra for prestige/luxury.

You can simply not participate in that game, buy a practical car that will last and get you from point A to point B, and move on with your life.

I actually expect we'll see some additional lower cost market entries in the next few years because as the industry has shifted to larger, more expensive cars, and the used market's gotten tighter, there is a larger underserved market segment for people who need a car for less than 30k, or even less than 25k. Will these be sexy, fancy cars? No. But they will be cars.[/quote]
