We dump a lot of subsidies on our factories too. But in the end it doesn't matter, because most people remember that a few years ago you were able to buy chap cars <10k. That mean that modal incomes could afford to have a car.

Now 10k is the price of a second-hand car with lots of potential issues. It got to a point that there are companies that offer pericial services with a guy who goes to review the car with an ODB reader and everything. That wasn't happening here.

But it isn't only the cheap market. Premium brands are pushing a lot of BS and people is taking notice.

You can't squeeze people indefinitely without no repercussion. It's just impossible.
