2019 was considered 'a bad year' for auto sales, yet they sold some 17.5 million new ones .. yeah right, it's in a state of utter collapse ... the real problem is they're pricing themselves out of the new low wage world of markets and smaller disposable incomes. They need to be selling what most people can afford, and for those types of vehicles you need to look at India's common vehicles, a lot of three wheelers, scooters, and small motor carts. Before I could afford my first car I had to ride around on a crappy Sears two-cycle scooter I bought for $25, the kind with the running boards and saddle bags for my paper route. They were legal for 14 year olds to get licenses for at the time, though kids as young as 10 could get away with it since the cops would look the other way if they had jobs or paper routes or some other reasonable use for running around on one.
