Big-Ticket Beaters

http://www.popsci.com/cars/article/2008-05/big-ticket-beaters

A rust-dappled Hyundai for $3,000, a clapped-out Geo Metro for $5,000, and a censurable Ford Festiva for six grand? Welcome to upside-down world. The rising price of dinosaur champagne has already decimated the large-SUV business, and now the realities of gasoline economics are elevating what was once the lowliest segment of the used-car market into Croesus' territory.

Sorry if its been posted already. I think Woomyse is confused. Note his comment.

yeah, he hasn't seen a festiva on the road since before they were built? I'm guessing he's thinking Fiesta...
