Angry? That's some weak sauce. No anger here, not too sure how you got butt-hurt so quickly? I occupy both the light consumer and light commercial market, so I know the difference, although analytically, I treat them the same. I'd love to have a vehicle in my fleet that would add $$ to company's bottom line.
How about you find out how many diesels got killed by one of the mildest winters ever up here in Canada? They are a niche vehicle, and to an analytical person, they just don't stack up, for any reason. (I'm open to suggestions, talk me into one, I'll order it for our company fleet, well, except the cold weather destruction locally made that not an option!)
I own toys,(MXZX 1200, Spyder RS-S, Kodiak 350 IRS) they make no objective financial sense, but I like them because they are fun, and I enjoy them. Objectively, a 600etec sled and a small motorcycle, or a cheaper atv are probably more cost efficient, but I don't care.
A truck is a tool, (a damn expensive tool) and to most, tools are held to a different standard!
