How hard would it be for a company to start manufacturing small, barebones cars, compliant with safety and emissions, 4 seat, 4 door harchback and a 2 door version? Barebones meaning single/double din radio, hand crank windows, no cameras.

Oh and if I may, no CVT, and made for easy access to parts. Oh and a transmission fluid dipstick. Oooh and a cheaper manual version.

Selling something like that for..say 10k? Less maybe?

I guess it won't work since it's competing with the second hand market..but people would like a new car, feels more reliable.

Oh it'd be so nice.

Edit: Oh and put the oil filter UNDER the engine, so when you remove it the engine isn't covered in oil.
