And try to get a car without all the doodads. Or a cell phone. Or
an MP3 player.

They don't sell because people can't buy what isn't being made!

The test is to pretend to shop for a bargain that's been on the lot
too long. My truck for example had sat unsold for 8 months because it
had a 4 cylinder engine.

Some times that can be done. [Mom would buy the salesman's demo at
the end of the model year.]

But finding a cell phone which is just a telephone, and not a
rinky-dinky "communicator-knock off" which takes pictures, movies,
emails them to your cousin in Bavaria, surfs the web, feeds the cat,
schedules appointments with the Dentist, and tells the world your GPS
location (but can't complete a phone call if you're moving) - that is
a bit more difficult.
