Badge snobbery is really amusing!

[StevoD]

I often wonder how non-car people actually decide what car to buy. When you have no idea of dynamics, or engines, or anything that we all take for granted, how on earth do you pick what car you want?!

 

its Red and i like the wheels

It's not just in cars where you get badge snobbery, probably a lot worse in the world of hi-fi.

When I bought my wife a Ford Focus, she was adamant that she didnt want a silver one (the most readily available and best specced for the money) - when I pointed out that she wont be able to actually see the colour of the car most of the time as she would be inside it she agreed to forego the colour issue!

but my wife was adamant that she WANTED silver

I find a conversation about badge snobbery on here funny. The amount of people who look down on Vauxhall or s2000's to name a few, just because their Nissan has more than 4 cylinders.

Having been here for so long I'd argue zed ownership is/has headed in that direction. Not full on scum class chavs, more like a middle to upper class chav if that makes sense.

Everyone looked down on my Vauxhall, then again it was only 111cms high...
