You also see this plumbed through decisions that have huge & expensive impacts, e.g., when not many cars had turbos, performance cars would have turbos since they're cool (and practical). The combination of America wanting high hp cars (compared to Europe) plus CAFE regulations has pushed tiny engines w/turbos into many boring cars. How do you stand out?
Make a performance car with no turbo! The examples of this are impressive engineering feats (e.g,., the new Corvette), but also sort of absurd
