You don't have to read it from somewhere to notice that RV affect middle to low class people. 90% ppl not rich so yes RV does matter to many ppl. problem?
Get high dp for next new car is not something to be complained over about right?

I do get it that safety is important but accident is not your everyday matter in one's life...I mean, it is not a be all and end all matter. It is not an immediate life and death thing....like insurance, it is important but not everyone buys or believe in insurance....some ppl still believe the old method over insurance as alternative or 'drive slow' for matter of 'safer' car.
Lastime ppl drive also without safety where got all these safety jargons VSC ESC etc ppl still get to somewhere safely.

I'm not advocating that we should get a car with less safety, I do think that we should...BESIDES, what car nowadays that do not have safety mah? (referring to toyota lines but i'm not well versed of their features/specs. If they don't , they should buck up. if they do, between toyota and a korean, I dont think choosing toyota is bad either due to the better RV as determinant. not a problem ya?

Just saying, RV is really seem more immediate benefit to ppl who change their vehicles often ie. transport companies who replace their vehicles very frequently, RV does direct impact their spreadsheet more than safety concerns or a single executive who prefers a good down-payment over safety. So why is it a 'no-brainer'? is puzzling to me that some ppl cannot brain why still many prefer RV over safety.
