Yeah but at $4000 a car they will sell.
Reminds me of the old Japanese car commercials from the 1970s with the jingle “for just $5895”. Something like that. Can’t remember which brand.
I remember watching the news one night while living in San Jose, Cal.
The news was about the first ship load of Honda Civics that had failed the California pollution standards and could not be unloaded.
That ship load of Hondas (little more than motorcycles in those days ) was taken out into the Pacific and dumped.
It would have cost to much to upgrade them.
BTW, I bought a new Mercury Capri in 1972 for $3,200.00.
