If you are like some of us, we waited. Plus, I don't count dealer fee's and such, cause those are on any car. I got my car for 22k, used with 684 miles. I got the price point I thought the car should have been at.
I cannot fathom how you 'don't count' the money out of your pocket to purchase the car, I wish I could live in a land where sales tax was irrelevant to my budget. Aside from that I managed to avoid all dealers fees and pick up a $500 incentive, a base car 2 years ago was about $28.3k out the door at MSRP in California (give or take a couple bucks based on region).

Agreed though, we would have seen a lot more praise and higher volumes if this car could be had out the door for $25k in this country, I would gamble we would also be seeing less of a decline right now. Not sure how they would have done it without significant sacrifices though.
