i see a lot of people voted for "performance," that along proves they are completely ignornant and and bias towards german cars.
comparing watches to cars is apples and oranges. but if you to use that analogy, you have proven my point. YOU SUCKERS WILL BUY ANYTHING.
sure, it is a matter of taste ... but never common sense.
I have absolutely NOTHING against german cars. i just get annoyed at ignornant A$s people who compare their luxury sedan against my poor man's mid size sedans, and jusifty their superiority b/c they have "the badge"
You are the one being ignorant. Your overgeneralized statements that german cars are crap and that those who buy it are just suckers. You make these baseless accusations when in fact YOU DON'T EVEN OWN a german car. To reach such a ridiculous conclusion based on hearsay and not your own actual experience of owning the said cars is total ignorance.
In an earlier thread you said your 'BEST ANALOGY' is like buying buying a Sony VAIO desktop vs building your own from parts bought on Newegg. Again, your ignorance shows.
1. You forget the fact that most computer users are not builders and would not even know where to begin if they even consider building one.
2. You do not take into account the time and effort for these people to build. To them, they would rather pay the price for a working out of the box computer than getting parts, which, BTW is a crapshoot and risk building a dud. They are WILLING TO PAY the premium because it is not worth their time and effort to build. If you build your own, that's great, but it does not mean that people who buy pre built lack common sense. In fact, it makes perfect sense to them because of the time/effort/aggravation they save outweighs the monetary savings.
3. If you screw up your build, do you have warranty? Who can you call for tech support (again, not all users are computer savvy)
Is that 'THE BEST ANALOGY' you can come up with??? Really? It doesn't even sound remotely like an apples to oranges comparison (more like apples to rocks) to me.
Not every advantage is measured monetarily. You can not just oversimplify and put monetary value on intangible factors such as the pleasure of owning these german luxury cars or ANY luxury item for that matter. It is called a luxury car for a reason you know.
I still contend that the experience of buying watches, especially the higher end ones is closer to buying luxury cars than your analogy of building computers. And how does this analogy prove your point that 'we suckers will buy anything'?
If were to give you a car for free, would you choose a corolla or an BMW M3? If i were to give you a watch for free, would you choose a Casio or a Patek? You see, people who buy the higher end goods have the CAPACITY and FINANCIAL ABILITY to do so. They can and will pay for tangible and intangible factors based on THEIR needs and wants, and not on factors YOU perceive to be important.
I am not knocking Japanese cars, i have not done so in my previous posts. In general, they are reliable cars. But it is not for everyone, like it is not for me. The same way that German cars are not for everyone. However, unlike you, i will not shove down to everybody's throat that japanese cars are utter crap and that they should save up for a german luxury car. Now that would be IGNORANT.
Do you have a hobby? Do you collect anything of value? It seems like you don't because you are not getting some points listed here.
