      No, because all methods of transportation are not used for “the exact same thing”. If it was a 7 seater SUV, it would be a bad comparison, because that’s for carrying more people and must be larger. Same for a motorcycle. But it’s not, it’s a five seater car with a moderate trunk that people are buying for the exact same use case.

        I just had to tow a U-Haul trailer with all of my furniture packed inside. A five seater car would not be able to do this.

          You decided to do that, you didn’t have to. Since the trailer was rented out, you could have just as well rented out a U-Haul truck.

            Especially a minority of their own time. Moving houses doesn’t happen every day.
