I wonder if you could look back and establish a "increase in sales of cheapest car in the US market" as a leading indicator of recessions.
In recent years, I think it's more related to the used car market being so absolutely overstuffed with off-lease vehicles that are priced almost as much as new cars. When you have the options of either paying $20k for either a five year old Camry from a buy-here-pay-here or something that's going to at least be new and have a manufacturer's warranty, it makes more sense to go with the latter.
 
Maybe if the new cars in question wasn't the Nissan Versa and Mitsubishi Mirage.
One would think that sales of these cars would have boomed since Dodge completely abandoned the entry level/compact segment.

Good luck finding a Camry at a BHPH, the mid-size segment at those kinds of places consist of pretty much just Altimas and Chrysler 200s. Maybe some Malibus too.
