Custom costs.
You want a company to design, build, market and distribute a vehicle then provide you with a parts supply chain and warranty support. You want to ride the economy of scale that the entire motoring public provides while demanding a product that the rest of the market doesn't want. Then you make it even more laughable by demanding your custom spec at a price that the mass market doesn't meet on it's own.
In related news... My wife is from just outside NYC and has very particular ideas about what constitutes a good pizza. There's a pizza place a mile away from our house, the type of pizza she likes is perfectly legal in New Hampshire and she only wants one slice. To her credit, she understands that while the exact slice of pizza she wants is inexpensive on its own, there isn't enough of a market in our area to support that and she can't compare it to the fact that Domino's can deliver a whole pizza for $5.99.
The stories about your car wants and my wife's pizza wants are mainly different in that she understands the market forces better.
