Made a mistake...

Love the audi...but GTR has better numbers for less though.

That is what really annoys me. You can get a better car for less money today but people still clamour to buy more expensive cars because of the image and the percieved superiority. I canot stand people who buy things cause of the iamge it creates for them and how it makes them feel knowing that other people are looking at them. They are seeking acknowledgement from these other people in order to satisfy theor own insecurity.

This argument can be made for literally anything, including the 370z. Truth be told, why would buy a 370z if NOT for the image it creates?

You can argue performance, amenities, styling, pricing, naming, etc. anyway you would like, BUT...at the end of the day all arguments are this:

"I like/bought vehicle X because its fits ME and because it fits MY image."

The 370z is no different. If you don't believe me, just look at the primary function of a vehicle. It is a way to travel from point A to point B. The only reason people drive different vehicles (also probably the only reason we don't all drive a Ford) is because of persoanl preference. We (as consumers) want the image. We demand the image. So companies give us what we want.
