There is no doubt the scheme is not what it was, but perhaps it was overly populated at that time due to various reasons and companies made a lot of cars and were prepared to sell volume cheaper, hence BMW’s for 2/3k etc.
Times have changed and 100 different cars is still decent, although alas too many are a bit small….not as small as a blue 3 wheeler tho.
Times are hard it is seems or car makers have just decided to make less and charge more plus have lots of buyers in a line shaking a wad of cash.
Will it get back to where it was? I doubt it but I still think it will improve in 18 months if nothing else disastrous happens…
Unlikely as that may seem currently on a local or global outlook
