There is no new car available for sale in the United States for less than $20,000.00. The average transaction price of a new car crossed $50,000.00 a while back.
If the UAW gets all that they are demanding, the average UAW worker will make, in hourly and benefits, more than many university educated engineers and scientists.
US automaker CEOs know if they don't push back on these demands, bankruptcy is a certainty.
Every vehicle that GM sells, has a cost of $11,000 in "retired employee" benefits. That number was in 2010, too... so I am sure it is at least 50% higher now.
You are confusing "demand" with profit margin. The rice burners still have unions in America that build their cars, they just haven't been giving away the farm for 100 years.
Plus I'd rather buy a 60k Lexus that will last 200k miles than a 50k blazer that will last 2 years max.

Then why aren’t rice burners cheaper?

I’d rather be in a casket than a fucking Tojo/rising sun special. The lamest , Dick softening cars on the planet. I’d reluctantly drive a kia first.
