It's hard to send a message buy not buying a car that you can't afford to buy anyway... or conversely, buy a car you approve of and is exactly what you want/need but again you don't have money to do so.

Voting with your wallet is only so effective.

More consumers not being able to afford a new car is a message by itself. Voting with your wallet is not as impactful as good legislation but more effective than rolling over and taking the shit deal.
