Why wouldn't such a car get driven every day? If you can afford it, surely you'd want to drive it?

People with this much money don’t drive the same cars everyday. They have like 10 of these and don’t even drive them that often - instead going with their Mercedes or whatever instead because it’s more practical.

These are fun weekend/special occasions vehicles.

Even if you are not that rich, it's not impractical to have 2 cars if you have the space to park them and the need. A smaller everyday vehicle that is easy to park in the city and the family mover for weekend activities.

95E10 is well over 2 €/L (like 7.57 $/gallon?) everywhere now. If it keeps the same 125-litre tank as the normal TRX, it'll cost you >250 € to fill it completely up.
