You could likewise argue that only a small fraction of commuters need the ability to go from 0 to 70, as most are stuck in stop & go traffic :-)
FTM, why should commuting be the standard by which cars are judged?

5000/7X100 is over 71,000 feet distance. 71,285 to be fairly exact. You are talking about a distance of 13.5 miles.

Yeah, that's about right. Here's one such road that I drive frequently:
Nevada State Route 431 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia It's about 13 miles from base (on the Reno side) to summit, and just about 4500 ft elevation gain. Quite a few people do commute on that road, too.
