It's more like the limousine company telling everyone they better buy him a new limo so he can charge them more money and maximise his earnings by catering to a higher clientele, pushing out all those middle-class peasants. Not only that, but they have to pay for his gas, insurance, maintenance and he's going to leave his old limo by the side of the road so they'll have to pay to have it towed and scrapped. Meanwhile, the cost to rent the limo is already out of reach for many of the people being asked to pay for the new one.
If they don't, he's going to move his limo company to a new city, even though he's got a steady, loyal customer base and making more money than half the limo companies in other cities.
