Unsure if its a new issue but I've checked the used car market and these things are dirt cheap, 2 year old cars are about as much as a modest Golf, 4-5 year olds match the price of a Polo.
If you can handle the occasional funny guy chucking you a heil as you drive past and tech that tries to murder you about once a month they look highly affordable. Probably not what they were going for but hey ho.
