Perception of car brands
I got talking with my co workers today and it's interesting to get their take on car brand perceptions vs mine. Of course everyone would have their personal biases, geographical location, demographics , levels of income etc but overall in Vancouver this seems to be agreeable at least amongst my peers
Top being better , lower being worse perception wise. I.e you look more wealthy driving a VW vs a hyundai
Exotic:
Ferrari
Rolls Royce
Lamborghini
McLaren
Bentley
Maserati
Aston Martin
Lotus
Luxury:
Porsche
Mercedes
BMW
Audi
Land Rover
Jaguar
Alfa Romeo (somewhere around here)
Lexus
Acura
Infiniti
Volvo
Mini
Cadillac
Lincoln
Mainstream:
Volkswagen
Fiat
Honda
Toyota
Mazda
Subaru
Nissan
Ford
GM
Chrysler
Hyundai
Kia
I'm probably missing things but do you fellas generally agree that the populace of Vancouver would see that a Jetta driver is better off than a Elantra driver when they essentially cost the same ?
Edit. Not trying to stir up shit, just curious.

Dafuq do I care what other people drive?
If it makes them happy and they can afford it, good for them. If they're driving a leased Benz, just to keep up with the Jones', it's just sad.

It depends on what you mean by perception. Higher quality, more expensive, more reliable, what?

I drive a Hyundai... my second one in 5 years actually. I cross shopped it with the Cadillac CTS and the BMW 5 series.
When I was at the BMW and Caddy dealers, I felt like I was buying the car for someone else and to show off to others. In the end, I went with the car that had more power, more toys and cost a whole lot less.
Buy the car, not the badge because honestly... cars these days are fairly similar in their respective classes.

It sounds kind of troll-ey but It came from an interesting conversation I had. My buddy said if he saw a guy driving a Hyundai Elantra vs the Jetta he would assume the Jetta guy had more money (same model year). Even though they are pretty much the same price the vw brand holds more value in his opinion than Hyundai.
I asked him what about Mercedes or BMW. He said it would be the same. I asked him what about Mercedes vs Infiniti. He said the Mercedes guy looks more money.

In Vancouver, exotics are mainstream.

I do appreciate how badhodz is giving us some insight on how some Vancouver people think....I am sure we have all thought about this to some extent.....let's face it, like it or not, cars are a personal statement no matter if you like it or not...

I don't like how the status' have separated so much. Now were comparing status levels of Hypers cars.
When I was a kid, it was all about Honda vs Ford vs Hyundai. "You have a Honda? Oh man, nice car" haha. Now all three are just grouped into "Mainstream"

Factoring out the Evo, I would put Mitsubishi below Hyundai /Kia these days because all they make is boring penalty boxes that please brand loyal owners.
