>Is this real? In Europe you can get a Fiat Panda, brand new, for 9k€. Smallish engine, barebones interior, but overall a pretty decent car.

Mitsubishi Mirage and other ~15k hatches fly off the (metaphorical) shelves.

Just not in the kinds of neighborhoods HN tends to live in.

Also HN's househeeper tends to buy a used Corrolla (or some other hallmark of upper middle class conspicuous consumption) from one of their clients so HN doesn't have that sort of exposure vector either.

19k cars sold in 2020?

That is a tiny tiny fraction of things like Corrola and Civic.
