Oh? I don't think that's actually the case, as a quick search gives prices for some small cars that I wouldn't exactly call cheap. The 2008 Lotus Exige comes in at $61,000, the 2008 Porsche 911 at $83,800, while the 2008 BMW Z4 Roadster 3.0si is a comparative bargain at only $42,700. Even US automakers can do this, with the 2008 Chevrolet Corvette Base Convertible at $54,570, and the Z06 Coupe at $71,275.

For comparison, the 2008 Hummer H2 has a MSRP of $56,735 - probably heavily discounted these days :-)
