Why don't we deserve nice things

My uncle recently bought a fortuner and i saw the bill 😭 You're telling me this piece of tin costs more than a mustang or to be fair SUVs from brands like Ford, Mazda, General Motors, Cadilac, Honda. Why are we okay with buying something that's not even worth half the price you're paying. Only to be further looted through road and toll related tax and then finally be given roads that are more of literal off-road tracks then roads. Who was crying we should more off-road trails for recreational fun? We have a whole country full of them! Just found out the prices of BMWs, mercedes, audis and such in these other countries and they aren't even that much of a "luxury" there. Ofcourse the mid to top models are still luxury but they have like budget segment BMWs and mercedes and audis too. Not to mention the huge system of second hand cars they have there and reliable too. Infact most of them normal folk's first cars are these old models and here we have our government retiring cars after 15 years while we have trucks and commercial vehicles that look like from the time of 150 BC. They have these dealership and they actually provide good quality cars that are almost like new and not that expensive to maintain as opposed to buying a second hand mercedes here and the huge maintenance that comes with it. This all tax and seeing personal vehicles as luxury for even the most basic budget vehicle is why we have roads filled with ugly egg looking cars, all look identical and you couldn't distinguish between an suv and a hatchback. Remove the logo and all are same!! On top of that all white because people can't afford any colour after the hefty taxes and to kill it off, convert it to CNG 😭😭
