1) As much acceleration as I can afford
2) All Wheel Drive
3) Record of kicking a** all over the world in the World Rally Championship
So I can only buy a few cars, Subaru and Audi, and can only afford Subaru, so I have a 2015 Subaru WRX. I road rally with the Sports Car Club of America. Acceleration and nimble handling are quite important, even when they don't appear to need to be. I've been buying WRX's since 2005, and sold the last one in May, after owning it for 3 years, with 124,000 miles on the odometer. I drove it most of the way across the USA multiple times getting to road rallies far away, and mostly burned it to the ground with the excessive use. But it _was_ quick and we won a lot of rallies.

Good guess! Mazda RX-8, but if I had to buy a car right now it would probably be that (Scion FR-S over here).

Double the price of all seats then and blame it on fat people.

Yes but the implication here is that obese people are actually 2 (or more) people.

No, it is not. It is one person, occupying two travelling-spaces. The limiting factors for an airplane are room and weight. It does not cost them less fuel, simply because some bureaucrat decided that the universe is not politically correct.

Can I interest you in a relevant web site? "YouParkLikeAC**t.com" I'm sure you can work out the missing two letters, but it's definitely NSFW!

Shipping one vehicle with e.g. a Ferry or Train then costs always the same....whether it is a passenger car or a truck...? I have my doubts.

Room on a train or ferry is cheaper compared to an airplane; room is always sparse, and even baggage is checked for weight.
And yes, you are talking about "one". Now define that; if my vehicle occupies twice the room and weight, does it count as one?
If yes, than mass-transportation of those items becomes cheap; link them and claim it is a single car with lotsa wheels.

If I were CEO of the airlines, I would install arm rests that did not go up. "Yep, we gave you 22A and 22B. Good luck!"
Or maybe I'd give two seats in separate isles...
