Now that is my opinion. The reason auto makers participate in races is that they want to cram in the public's brain that "if they buy the winning xxxx model, they too will kick butt."

I agree with the above posters also,
a percentage of byers would like a "lots of action with the minimum knowledge" musical instrument, and the arrangers does exactly that, and I am thankful for whoever invented them.

Some others require a TOOL for working with, a sort of musical Swiss knife/Leatherman. A top arranger can do this. The salesmen have to be trained to identify who needs a thing to play along and who needs something to work with, and start from there.
