>I don't agree that consumers are strictly limited by price. It's been the norm to finance vehicles with loans for a while now.

The monthly payments are dictated by the purchase price and interest rate. Guess who controls the interest rates?

I don't actually know who sets the industry standards for automobile financing.

But the point you're making is missing something: term of the loan. That's the easy way to get the monthly cost down.
