We are constantly advertised to & told we need a car that exudes sexual prowress, that dominate our environment, hauls our boat all while winning a grand prix, and being able to take jimmy & his entire soccer team our for ice cream after the big game.
We would personally and societally be better served with more and better public transportation, and smaller vehicles for the commutes we actually do, and rent a bigger vehicle for the few times you actually need one on average vs the one machine to do it all.
