Does Howard's "fully equipped" under $10K car include rust protection, switches that don't fall off in the first 3,000 miles, and actual radial tires instead of bias-plies from 1982?
(I'm the first to agree that all new cars are overpriced; that's why I buy used. But stories I've heard about the cheapness of many Chinese products make me pessimistic about their ability to build even a halfway decent car at that price point.)
