I read in one report that in a certain country that suffered a major economic recession that after a while studies found that people on average were happier there. The conclussion was that before the recession the majority of parents worked up to 7 days a week and long days. The recession caused there to be less work, so people ended up staying more at home, more time with family. Apparently this was before the smartphone boom.

Back to the future.

With the way things are, we don't know when the used car market will return to normal. Hopefully soon, but it could be years and may never be the same again. After all, industries try to maximize profits, not give out cheap or free products to the masses.

If it does take over 5 years, 10 years, 15 years to go back to normal, what would be a good economy car?
