Free market.
This once meant an opportunity for innovation, now it just seems to be in line with GREED.
Marketing types selling us things we do not need, and the average person has been trained to believe it (for example the turn to SUV like the explorer, even though similar cars existed for years -blazers/broncos - but were never a big profit center for the big 3 until fuel/safety restrictions put on cars made them less attractive to make)..
What once was great, is now quite ugly...
