"Planking" was an old craze a while ago which everyone did. Doesnt mean it was good.

SUVs are bulky but small, have bigger more expensive tyres etc etc doesnt mean its better than a normal sedan.
The SUV craze has slowed down and being overtaken by the dual cab craze.
Sticker packs are the best thing manufacturers can come up with these days as its cheap and the stupid public laps it up.

This is exactly right and another example that backs it up is music - the most popular, top 40 type stuff is by far the worst stuff being produced. Actually, with music you can make an argument that on a sliding scale, the more popular it is, the worse it is. When you look at the top selling cars - Corolla and HiLux, you could make the same argument here as well...
