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.

Also remember, people that enjoy driving are the minority.

difficult to accept,but this is "dead nuts" accurate. people look for lasting value,cheap to keep,and a daily driver that is reliable for the long term. every one of those cars fits that criteria.

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'
