Kia announced the end to the Soul, one of their most popular models DUE TO THE PRICE.

Ford can still barely manufacture Mavericks fast enough DUE TO THE PRICE despite raising the starting price to mid 20s.

These manufacturers are shooting themselves in the face claiming slumping sales, yet they won't do the one thing that would sell like gangbusters, making affordable vehicles!
