Let’s face it, we cannot all be an Elon Musk, Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos in terms of finances. Different people have different income ranges, and as such, this determines and directs the standard of living of individuals. Our society is divided into the lower class, middle class and upper class, based on income and finance.
Car manufacturers know this, and as such they have different cars for each financial class. This is the reason why Volkswagen can have a Bugatti as one of their brands, to cater for the high networth individuals, and have the Volkswagen Golf GTI to cater for the younger generation with a limited supply of money.
Everyone deserves a good life, regardless of how much they earn. This post contains a list of 5 affordable cars that are readily available for the middle class citizens.
