I haven't bought a new car for a while, but most manufacturers now seem
to have on-line configurators which allow you to create a car to your
exact spec. You invariable end up with something costing substantially
more than the base price by the time you have added better paint, better
wheels, a *spare* wheel (if available), better in-car entertainment, etc.

When I went around the Mercedes Stuttgart factory, which was making just
two models, the guide said that there were around 90,000 different
versions that could be built, depending upon what combination of options
the buyer had asked for.
