A friend of mine was in the market for a new car a couple of years ago.
He was telling me how the most popular cars are HiLux, Ranger and various SUVs.
As the HiLux won car of that year (on a website sponsored by Toyota) he decided that this was the car for him. This was pre-covid so he went down to the local Toyota stealership and bought a fancy new blue SR5 Hilux.
A few days later he brought it home and i noticed it parked out the front. I stopped by to say hi and check it out. It looked like any other hilux but i faked interest. especially in regards to the revolutionary cup holders.
I asked him why it was parked out the front (it was like 45deg that day) and he said it wont fit under his garage rollerdoor, but not to worry as he is getting quotes to get that raised. Onkaparinga council have a blanket ban on adding any structure forward of the front of your existing building, no matter how far away from the boundary you are, and this caught him off guard.
Anyway, fast forward a couple of weeks and i see him down at the local woolworths. Its still in the mid 40's and he is loading his kids in the back seats, and his shopping trolleys of groceries into the tray. He did not look very happy.
I did what any good friend would do and followed him home. Stopping at the front of his house just to admire the washing machine effect his groceries had gone thru rolling around in the tray. Ice cream mixed with cat food, YUM!
Fast forward another 3 months or so and the HiLux is gone. Replaced by a Toyota 7 seat SUV of some sort. I caught up with him and asked why he bought that car... "its the most popular SUV in that segment" was the reply. The dealership had bought the Hilux off him "For a good price" and recommended the SUV.
