Good point. How many out there drive luxury autos for the perceived quality? Alot, and the fact that they are status symbols, nothing more.

Although I could be driving a small car with much better gas mileage, I realize a Ranger serves my purpose and I don't need an F150. An F150 would be nice don't get me wrong, but as a daily driver? The Ranger will haul my ATVs just fine and tow a trailer.
