I think there's room in the market for a back to basics car company that takes out all this bs, goes back to crank windows and all that crap and sells new vehicles for an affordable cost with a good warranty.
It would probably crush today.

The problem is, cars have to have backup cameras, per law, so they have to have screens. It's not expensive to produce a car with a infotainment system, and without one, but still use a screen.
Lights cost next to nothing. So do most of the other features of post complains about.
There are about of reasons the cars cost more, but really those quality of life things help justify the price, not really drive it up.
The real reason cars are so expensive is because the dolts who spent 4x a car's value during COVID showed manufacturers they could get away with charging a lot more.
This is nothing new. I remember when the PT Cruiser came out. My grandma kind of wanted one, she thought it was cute, so we went and looked at one. They had a $5k markup. Imagine paying an extra five grand for one of those rolling heaps of shit.
2.8k
