      Sufficiency ? Sufficiency ??? TMB is anti-American ! Burn the commie at the stake !

      More seriously, the existence of luxury car brands (Lexus, Mercedes & co, not the exotics) is a testament to the silliness of human beings. When I drive the wife's Rav4 (7-seat), I can't quite understand why anyone would pay 2x the price for marginal comfort and power improvements. Look at the "luxury" features these days. It's all fluff and show-off features. Luxury used to mean comfort, and save your ass, as recently as the 90s, but the gap is essentially closed, so they add BS and morons buy it.
