I suspect any of us with the means buy cars based on some combination of needs and wants. Obviously, I have in my life. I used to lean to a vehicle that had good handling, ride was very secondary, I liked to corner, back then. Some. I had one really slow minivan that met my needs, not my wants, then another one that wasn't all that slow and was more comfortable, that was nicer to have, then I went to sedans and finally this CUV thing, which is "OK". I "want" my wife to like our vehicle, I suppose that's a need too. The Tucson satisfies our needs pretty well and some of the wants, like memory seat.
What I WANT at the moment would be a CT4VBW with a 6 speed. Or a Corvette, the Stingray. Or a Porsche 911.
I don't want a crew cab F150 that costs $85 K, nor do I need one. I can rent a pickup for $20 at Home Depot should I ever need one. I don't tow anything ever, obviously that becomes a need for some folks, I guess one could argue you don't NEED any kind of RV, but again, we all make our own decisions. RVs make for excellent vacation experiences, I've been party to a few, my wife doesn't want to know about it.
Speaking of, I do occasionally wonder what it'd be like to have a small camper van and travel the hemisphere in it for months at a time.
