    The world of those commercials could only exist in a mass-transit utopia where driving is always inferior to public transit, and owning a car is a result of deliberate lifestyle choices and hobbies rather than not having any other good methods of transport and self-expression.

    There’s some irony in that a society built around cars gives you the worst experience of every aspect of cars.

    Buying them is worse because they’re almost all soulless and interchangeable, and still overpriced.

    Maintaining them is worse because maintenance is designed around everyone taking their car to a dealership and not user-maintenance or even local mechanics.

    Driving is worse because everyone else has to drive too

    Even the car infrastructure is worse because everything has to be transported via semi-trucks that account for 90% of road wear and every 200 feet they need another stoplight to handle the fact that everyone else is driving.
