Again, you're ignoring the obvious lack of connection between small and inexpensive. Obviously the auto industry, domestic or import, has to cover the costs of production. You may have noticed that Detroit doesn't build LARGE inexpensive cars, and neither does it build small expensive ones (bar a few arguable outliers like the Corvette). Yet experience shows that people will buy a small, relatively expensive car if it is properly marketed, as for instance the Mini.
