      Eventually, companies realized the cheapest vehicles they could make would be "light trucks", the big fuckin cars you see everywhere today. They are categorically light trucks, if I recall correctly, which means they fall under a different set of regulations which makes them far cheaper to produce.

    "I mean the zoo was fun... but I'm ruined!"
    I always found that line profound for a random Simpsons joke. Like Herb knew the whole time that what he was doing was stupid, but his money and hubris got to him, and knowing that the company was *already* failing and about to go bankrupt, he decided to play puppeteer/god with his company for some entertainment.

      ​@@AdamantLightLP It's the same in any engineering field really, whether it's software or rocket science - customers dream of impossible stupid things and it takes a lot of work to extract what they really want out of what they say they want. Eg: They'll claim they want a game with gorgeous, real-life graphics, but then in the next sentence claim that they want the game to be extremely well optimized, fast and able to run on any hardware. Then after months of painstaking back and forth you'll finally learn what they really wanted was not realistic lighting and ray tracing, with high detailed 3d models and motion capture animation etc, but a 2d isometric platformer with a gritty art style and harsh difficult gameplay and no handholding, which yes, you could run on pretty much any hardware.

    I'll say this much; Homer's car had a lot of good ideas, and while it is certainly true that Herb should have exercised more oversight on the project, he wasn't necessarily wrong for giving him the input he had, either. An average consumer would certainly have a good idea on what (s)he wants in a car, after all.

      The point of The Homer is that any consumer would end up making the same kind of choices. This is just an extreme satire for joke purposes, but the point is that if consumers were given everything they think they want, the price would would 5x as much and would be ridiculous.
      e.g. airline prices - people claim they want X inches of leg room, better food, more luggage capacity etc etc like it was in the 70s, but forget that flying to New York from LA cost $2k return in the 1970s vs $500 return today.
      A typical American consumer trying to design a car would be unwilling to compromise on certain features. They'd say that ofc they need the top-of-the-line safety features, apple carplay, 5 usb ports, 4wd, 50mpg, 3L 300HP engine, ice cold A/C, comfy nice-looking seats (that kids can't stain easily), lots of carrying capacity (but small enough that you can find parking), etc etc. And they'd be all pikachu-face.jpg when they can't get all this for a $300 p/m payment, and the thing looks like a monstrosity.
