I don't understand why people are still getting excited about these relics. If the consumers would demand better trucks, we would have diesel-electric hybrids that could easily tow 30,000+ pounds at 65mph up the Ike

Maybe it's because the technology for the electric trailer pulling truck does not exist yet? (someday it will, just not today)

Maybe because people aren't ready for the sticker shock that a locomotive hybrid truck would cost? It's a bit more involved than scale up a pre-us and call it good.

Maybe if consumers would demand better RV quality we'd get it. Oh wait, the quality unit does exist. They are just out of the price range of most people.

Why are people excited about the latest high tech computer that makes phone calls when it will be obsolete and sold on eBay for a tiny fraction of it's cost in a few short years?

It's just what we do. I like the new relics.

The tech does exist, and 80 grand for an overpriced fuel hog before upgrades is obviously not sticker shock enough.
