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.

this is true,and it's because the f**kin' things are so damn expensive,people HAVE to get as much as they can out of them! cars are incredibly expensive to purchase,run,and insure for many years. ya gotta try to get your money's worth...just sayin'
