I agree completely, I was referring to their marketing strategy in the US only. They have no interest in selling "economy cars" in this market. They are probably correct (from a business point of view) because they are not likely to be competitive, the profit margin on low end cars is much lower, it could cut into their E-series sales, and it would hurt their image in the US.
