Well, now you're just playing to my personality. I like more beef in my beef.

All of that makes total sense though.

I've heard it said that we decide what we like first, and then afterwards use reasons to justify the choice.

It seems like a failure of marketing though, because they are supposed to be able to sell an ice box to an eskimo. People might want to hear "V8" when purchasing a truck, but wouldn't they rather hear "400 horsepower"? There's plenty of macho stuff to hype with regards to hybrid tech. "We engineered kilowatt technology to launch this truck zero to sixty in 5.6 seconds". Took me about 3 seconds to create that one, and I hate marketing.

As an aside, I am currently looking for the largest vehicle for the buck, which keeps coming back to the Pacifica PHEV.
