I think you'd be surprised how big a role the stylists, and marketing, play in the process.

Buy the warranty, people. Something goes wrong with every car at some point - it's all that shit that Jim sells that no one wants to buy that makes something going wrong less of a hassle. Get a cheaper car if you have to (not the one just out of your price range that you expect them to make a deal on), but buy the warranty. And the gap insurance.
