Except they don't:

Base Camry: $24,095
Base Accord: $23,720

I take your point that the $35k+ models are the top of their lines and represent a small portion of total sales, but when the top of the line models increase in price, so do the base models.

Sub $20k today puts you in the base Civic ($19,450), and base Corolla ($19,500).

Not sure where I got $20k for the midsizes. Still though, cars are much cheaper than the OT would have you think. Just look at all the posts acting like you can't buy a new car for less than $40k.
