manufacture a fairly bare-bones car again. Power windows, locks, seats. Excellent fuel economy, heat and A/C of course, and a decent stereo with at least Bluetooth. Maybe rear sensors. One model, a 4-door sedan with limited color choices. Sell it for $20K.

I'm not a car afficiando though. Just basic things for my trip from A to B.

Please explain why this message is being reported.
