If all things being equal you can pick between a horse and giant bug, some people will pick the horse just because why not. Even if the bug has a better spec sheet, it better be a seriously good looking bug for me to pick it over a horse. | |

His point was at the time his assembly line process focused on creating one car as cheaply as possible to sell as deeply into the marketplace as possible. Today we have cars in all kinds of colors. We have all kinds of cars. We have sports cars and luxury cars and minivans and SUVs - and outside that there are trucks of all kinds and busses and heaven only knows how many other kinds of vehicles. Simplifying an awful lot, they break down into purpose, affordability, and aesthetic choice. | |
