Automakers, suppliers, are just going with consumers' demands. Hey look! an actual relevant use of "supply and demand" on reddit!"

  Soranos_71 (Soranos_71): "I live in Michigan and I got so used to our pothole/covered pothole roads.

  Rdt767 (Rdt767): "That's really fucking depressing to think that our roads look like an upgrade to some people."
