If you want people to buy new cars every year wouldn't you make the new cars look different? More exiting or whatever? We used to have awesome fins on the back of cars now we just get a shiny grill. "planned obscelensce" doesn't force them to make cars that all look the same. That's safety regulations.

Also why all the new cars suck.

I live in a city, with a public transport system, and it's terrible. Nobody but the poors bother with it as it takes HOURS longer than simply driving. This isn't hyperbole, it's actual trip times from actual trips taken.

With a fully functional, affordable, universal public transport system

Y'all got any of them magic carpets? They're just as real as this mythical perfect public transport system. And cars will always be more convenient. Convenience wins every time.

Pointless, but better than blocking roadways.
