By definition anyone buying a car wants to only buy the best.

But then people buy way more Camry's than Ferraris so maybe there are other variables than what is 'best' at play? :-)

This assumes we all follow the same scale. A Camry could be the best car for me because I want a car that cost little money and will continue to work for years with little up keep. Where as the Ferrari may be the best for you because price is not a limit and maintenance is a non issue. In both cases we got the best car for us.

Both in cars and in employees by 'best' they mean best quality/price for some arbitrary ratio.
