It's the idea of their keeping up with the times and being fashionable, which in this case amounts to a display of ego and/or machismo. It's a free country. Let 'em spend their money on such foolishness.

The car I drive daily is a 23 year old Galant that has been garaged since it was bought new. My wife drove it for the first 15 years and it still looks and runs like new. It's a lot more fun to drive than a truck. But then I'm hardly 'a slave to fashion'...
