What you are paying for is not really the car.
You are paying for time, convenience, necessity (like schools for kids, bringing elderly to doctors etc)
How much you earn, how much you value face, how much you want to split your money with holidays, house, fine dining etc will dictate your choice of car.

It's like buying a can of soft drink from a vending machine in Sentosa: same product, but it costs $2 at least. Your thirst, your utility (satisfaction) from drinking it remains unchanged.
