I think that most car buying is motivated by far far more than delivered value. There's so much status and image wrapped up in cars that thigh there are some who care little about the car, nearly everyone chooses something that fits their perception of themselves.

The reason that there are so many super-expensive pickup trucks on the road is not because people are hauling around things that require a pickup, for example. And when combined with the face that pickup beds are becoming increasingly useless...




Yes that's why car market isn't much practical.


What do you mean the beds are becoming useless?


The height of the base of the bed, the height of the sides of the bed, and the lengths of beds are becoming more for show than for practical usage.
