Well, it *must* have been the best car for the people.  The committee
said so!  Such superior quality and customer service can only come
from focusing on a single obvious choice product for the masses.
Also, the people were spared the confusion of having to choose from
many different cars, and the effort of needing to test drive all of
them before choosing!

Believe it or not, that's the kind of stupidity that trolls cola.
"Too much choice makes people less happy" and "All choices must be
personally tried before making a choice".
