No, they peaked in 2012, when the new Dacia Sandero was released.

Edit: I mean that, it was a car that you could buy new for under 10k€, built in Europe with a reliable engine and included literally nothing that isn't needed to drive or required by EU regs. The base model had crank windows, no power steering and no radio. It was only available in white. like this generation's Model T. I find that elegant in a way.
