Do you really want to see the car show guys on TV, driving $150K+ sports cars all the time?

Yes, I know that Car and Driver and Motor Trend and others have videos of their test drives for cheaper cars available on line. But, most of those videos lack things like : production quality, head to head racing against other cast members, a sense of humor, commraderie and the competitive spirit of the TV shows. I like watching these shows, but I get the feeling I'm watching rich kids play with toys that I can never afford. Am I the only one who would like to see them test driving and discussing more cars in the $15K to $40K range? I heard one TV host say of a Suzuki, "It's a car, you would actually spend your own money on." So, if even the hosts can't spend $200K on high end sports cars, then why do they spend so much time driving them on these shows? Is this what most of the audience really wants? I'm not saying I want to see them speeding around in $17K Suzuki hatchbacks on every single episode of every car show. But, wouldn't you like to see more time devoted cars that you can actually afford, rather than watching guys sliding around the track in Ferraris and Aston Martins?

Update:

Interesting comment. You would think that a used car dealer would be interested in the new 2013 Ford Focus ST, which features: a 252 horsepower, 270 lb ft torque, turbo charged, direct injected, 4 cylinder engine, 4 wheel independent suspension, large diameter, 4 wheel performance disc brakes, electronic stability control, four wheel ABS. All in a package that weighs under 3,000 lbs, gets 23 city/32 highway and costs around $24K. These will be used cars in a few short years and many young men are sure to want one. You would think, a car dealer would be interested in a car that is usually in the top ten best selling cars in the US or just below that mark. As usual, car dealers are more interested in their own dream super-cars, than spending five minutes of their precious time, to learn something about the cars that the public is buying. This explains why dealers never know squat about the cars I'm interested in.
