I also have to wonder how the so-called average Joe manages to pay for these things.
I also have no idea about it, but it's often pointed out that some small businessmen or entrepreneurs use income tax rebates when they buy such an ego-hauler just because it's titled as a commercial vehicle even though it's not likely to be used for business purposes at all.

Not to brag or anything, but I'm well above average financially, and the end-of-model-year discounts I hear advertised are more than I've ever paid for a car.
It's a matter of priorities.
