You're right, there aren't that many median average people. So few, in fact, that the term average is probably a misnomer in and of itself, since the average person isn't "average" at all.

That was kind of beside the point I was trying to bring to light, though.

As an experiment: Take a picture of basjoos' car to a public place, like a mall. Poll the people walking by with a sign that says "Would you buy this new?" without telling them about mileage figures, aerodynamics, etc.

Don't say a word, just have them point to a "Yes" or "No" on the sign. I'd bet you the latter wins.
