Ken Newton:> I think that diminishing return curves exist for many consumer products classes. A $17k Honda Civic can provide the basic transportation needs of most people, and do so reliably, economically, and even with a small dash of fun. <
If basic transportation, reliably, or economy is the reason that you buy a car, then the more you spend on exotic sports cars the less you get.

your poor logic........
Because almost no one buys a sports car for basic transportation. And the few who might possibly, are unconcerned about diminishing returns, and they are not worried about the costs involved with their transportation.

Of course we don't buy sports cars for basic transportation. It amuses me that they can do what they do, and still fulfil such a menial task.

Looking at it from a 'transportation' perspective.
You would buy a specialty 'car' to fit the taks at hand vs. any car, for example:
If you need a car for travelling long distances one might purchase a car with good fuel economy or comfort, depending on their priorities.
If you need transportation to satisfy the requirement for speed you might but a car with good 0-60 times.
So even with cars 'speciality' can be justified, one car that excels in one area will aways out-perform others in those situations.
In fact no matter what field you look, specialty products exist because of their ability to excel at a given task.
However if you don't care about what happens between point-A and point-B, then any car is good enough. Same for music, if you don't care about what happens to the power between the wall and your gear then you probably won't see a need for a filter or balanced power. etc. Having low or no expectations or requirements reduces the need for specialty products.
