According to the 20/4/10 rule, an income of $60,000 can afford to buy a car of about $30,000. As a household of 4 is likely to have 2 cars, that would be about $15,000 per car. So a two car low income household probably can't afford the $20k Civic, either.
I don't disagree, but this is called moving the goalposts.
