(HCPI) is celebrating 33 years in the country with a variety of awesome deals from Oct. 1 to 31, 2023.

The fact is, you may already have driven or owned one of these so-called "entry-level cars" yourself but didn't quite know it yet or can tell the subtle difference between your car and those of your next-door neighbor's er, hot rod well, since you're simply reduced to just shrugging off the wh
