And second, the majority of people out there view their cars as appliances and drains on their budgets, or as status symbols that they want other people to see, so they shop accordingly. If you look at the list, every single one of those cars is a practical daily driver (appliance) except for maybe the Prius. While the Prius is practical, the price premium makes them more of a status car..

We will never be on a list like this.
Oh yeah no doubt, I know any sports car will never compete with those cars in sales volume. I just can't believe the list of cars, they all (IMO) aren't worth buying. The Camry sells 66-1 against the BRZ. It's just funny to me. I agree, the automobile is becoming an extension of the living room for most.
