One reason for the conformity is car parts and mechanic shops. It reaches a point where it doesn't make sense to get any other type or model.

In Amman, Jordan there's a disproportionate amount of 30-year-old Mercedes. It's pretty amazing how long a car can last when that's the only option.

And for the other type of masses, Toyota has (had?) the Hilux.
