I don't disagree. For some people, cars are about the fun and character
of the car, and they put up with (or even kinda enjoy) a certain
quirkiness. Other people want a toaster that gets them from point A to
point B without them ever thinking about it, and don't care if it has
all the charisma of a slice of Wonder bread. That's what Camrys,
Accords, Tauruses, Caravans, and Malibus are for.
