Yeah, American's only buy cheap small cars........
..............because the new Mini Cooper is such a sales flop.
Let's face it -- the Astra is totally overpriced and lacks the equipment to sell for its respective MSRP.
The Mini sells like crazy with no incentives.
GM builds some great cars -- but often can't get the numbers to jive. I'd never buy an Astra without a big incentive, personally -- and I like the car. The Cobalt is similar and has much better bang for the buck.
