American* consumer. Around the world most popular models are smaller than the American ones. And those expectations are driven by marketing from those car companies to circumvent the safety/emission laws set up for cars in the us
If you have a mortgage, you own what you paid (except interests).
If you bankrupt and are unsolved on a mortgage, and they take the house, the house is sold in an auction, the bank gets what's remaining in the mortgage, but the rest is yours.

Its a bit like italy: you have many right and left parties, but each one has some flavors (stance in different issues), so you vote for the right/left party that is more in line with you social and economical policies (or a part leader you like for personality).
