Truth in advertising

We are watching one of the new Mercedes Benz commercials.

Announcer: Most drivers will never need windshield wipers that function at Autobahn speeds... or the power to climb a 70 percent grade... or blah, blah, long list of other overpriced features... but some will. Which is why we can't build anything less than a true Mercedes Benz.

Jared: You know what? I'd like to see a commercial for a really cheap car, where they come right out and say, 'This car isn't that great at high speeds. It doesn't do too well in cold weather. And seat belts? Only 4% of people will ever really need them, so we didn't bother.'
