Not unlike wrapping yourself in the latest largest SUV based on the theory that it keeps you safer. When you nail the family of four driving a hybrid it's their problem for not buying into the bigger = safer mentality. Those that choose to spend that much money on a car justify it in strange ways.

There seems to be a twisted sort of snobbery involved when it comes to the price for such advances. Look out for you and yours is the ad pitch. They have better visibility without concern for blinding the oncoming driver. I would be concerned with that oncoming driver blinded by Xenons losing his track and swerving into my lane but what do I know. I choose to drive cars that have a combined value of far less than one of these excessive beasts.
