When wall street crashed on Ponzi games, rich people lost big. Car sales down by 33% or more. Wall street is recovering, but how many investors will recover?

India and Renault are designing cars for $4000; to incubate for a market that covers middle class with less wealth. Money don't grow on trees. Chinese market is built on real estate wealth. And most cars are bought by government or business for their employees.

Ford has to protect its market with low entry cost new driver incentives. Business as usual will find no new buyers(children of Ford customers' family) can afford new cars.

While $4000 is for Indian middle class. $7000 maybe for US middle class after 2008 wall street crash. Golf carts(or jeep) with tiny ecoboost internal combustion engines may have to be designed.
