Default "country car" gimmick?

I used to always see used car adverts in the trading post and elsewhere " "country car" as if it was some bonus buying a country car, and a couple people I know have bought a "country driven car" and have said it like its beneficial to buy a country car. But all I can think of is that it would be less beneficial because country roads can be terrible with bumps and potholes so suspension problems, the gravel roads likewise plus stone chips, used to tow often, driven through heaps of dust.

The only thing I can think of that would be beneficial to a country driven car is that it would not be driven in stop start traffic idling away thus the bores would have less chance of being glazed? And maybe a lot of highway travel?

May seem silly at first, but what would the benefits be?

It's pretty amusing though, considering the XR8 next year will be reborn with the same spec engine as the FG GT, could you imagine being a HSV owner forking out all that money on a brand new GTS, then pulling up to the lights next to a FH XR8 and then sitting side by side all the way to 100 and beyond
Even more embarrasing would be the lower spec variants of the VF in HSV's stable getting whopped by a factory XR8.
