Thoughts on green cars, bajspottor & oil sheikhs

Sitting in the caravan, and summarizes a great summer day on Oland . Surely 30 degrees and perfectly OK temperature. The kids love it and I "stands out". Camp Life in the caravan consists of a number of key foundations;

• swim
• barbecue
• drink alcohol
• empty caravan portable potty poo
• replace water drum
• emptying sewage
• and last but not least, to stand or chatting with other campers of your island datter

What is covered in the "Your Island datter" of these topics which are men between (call also occurs between other gender combinations, but it is precisely this I relate to). The talks are usually run with a water container or sewage tank in his fist at one of these innumerable walks through the campsite when clean or dirty water to be transported manually. Thanks to all you ancient Greeks who invented the water supply systems. Without them, I had not had time to paid work and therefore had not been able to afford to own caravan .. but then on the other side .. ? Ahh ..

As you probably know, a large proportion of the male population a peculiar interest to the great cars. It is certainly a remarkable high percentage of calls which is all about cars and car ownership. The focus may vary considerably. Different people interested in different aspects of car ownership, it may relate to, fuel consumption, horsepower, crash safety, reliability, environmental aspects, design, attitude, price, total economy, tax deductions, space, comfort, color, 000-100, 100-0, ride quality , materials, feeling, handling, etc etc.

Get purchasing processes should be as complex as bilvalet. Actually, it is perhaps we humans are complex.

In many respects, or much, I think the deep psychological processes governing the mkt by our bilval:

• who am I?
• how would I be perceived?
• do I fit?
• I want to fit in or stand out?

What are my true and honest motives to my car purchase , it is often not easy to answer. How many "needs" a new car? In most cases it would have been much more economical to go further in the old. We sometimes justify purchase of the car with lower fuel consumption despite the depreciation of the new car eats up the earnings about as fast as I reverse out the new car from the showroom. Environment is another aspect of love, how many have thought about the environmental impact of production of a new car does the last line - including raw material extraction, welding, painting, rubber manufacture, etc., etc. then Add to all shipments to be carried out in all directions. - Environmentally friendly? it depends on "which way to turn your ass" or "how you look at it."
Anyone who chooses a green car need not necessarily be environmentally conscious. Their motives may be based on strictly economic factors, or that I personally want to be perceived as politically correct. A shining example of this "double-bottoming" is people who buy ethanolbilar and then thinking the same with gasoline, Sweden is fantastic!

The average car consumes today, 1 liter / mil. It has, however, cars have always done, in principle, since Henry Ford's T-ford 1908th. Why is it so? -This must be some kind of conspiracy among automobile and oil sheiks. At any meeting of the American automobile industry mecca "Flint, Michigan" or in some Arabian desert have been kept a meeting sometime in the early 1900s where some kind of eternally relevant decisions were made, the average car must consume exactly one liter per mil.

The difference between and the Model T today's modern cars is that the Model T had 20 horsepower and today's family racer so-so 232 horses. Both draw on average about 1 liter per mil .. If development resources had instead been focused on minimizing fuel consumption had today's cars still had 20 horsepower (fully sufficient to reach 110 km / h with current technology) had consumption may now been at a maximum 0.2 gallons per mil. But it had not been as "fun" for us, car buyers and we therefore had not bought as many cars. "Fun Factor" is an important aspect.

The car can be so much more than just a transfer device to do their jobs at the lowest possible cost, it can then act as such:

• pleasure toy
• Extender
• visibility of the owner's success
• a way to show what a nice person I am (politically correct)
• a way to express my alienation
• a substitute for something I'm missing, "something" that crude if instead of "no" to the raw
• etc etc

The minimum acceptable level of training for dealers should be licensed psychologist. To understand the driving forces behind a car dealership should be the buyer's innermost thoughts and subconscious processes to be identified carefully. Only then can the car-salesmen recommend the right car with the right arguments. "FREE PSYCHOANALYSIS" should be the ultimate successful bidding the showroom. Free for the customer and a golden opportunity for the seller to spot the right both to model recommendation and sales pitch. Both aspects are important, it is not always the car model features consistent with the substance of argument. Many buyers often opt for a funky car with plenty of horsepower with the argument that the car is "crash proof" or "environmentally friendly" or "stable resale value". We often use logical arguments to defend our irrational acts.

A prime example was the consultant I am talking to at the campsite, which have a monster-BMW with 400hk + o 500nm + (torque) and who also chose to chip the same for not appearing to be too commonplace or risk being frånåkt on the Autobahn. The consultant's arguments as to why he chose this particular model was that it was financially more advantageous for him to run diesel ... OK, perhaps an economic parameter, among 786 others, the economic advantage was ex. depreciation, capital and preferential taxation for the same car?

We are humans and therefore irrational, unpredictable, unreliable and very much "human". The economic man is dead and has probably never existed.

Bilköparprocessen should be an open field for a doctorate in psychology. Few areas could be as complex and unexplored.

How can a business developer at a bank, like me, take advantage of these unstructured thoughts and insights. - Well, the wheat faan. Luckily, I spend maybe not such thoughts during their working hours without a BOILING HOT caravan on Oland at 23:43 den 9 June 2007.
