The Car's Image

no, but with one exception - the VW new beetle :flower:

another clarification - i do look at brand when i shop, but not for image. to me, brand signifies reputation (like honda=quality, bmw=performance, etc.) and i use that to set an expectation of what i'm likely to get.

i think we buy cars that reflect our personalities.

Minsan nasa nagdadala din iyan. hehehe.

Image does matter sometimes. Mas important pa siguro ang 'image' sakin kaysa yung 'prestige' ng sasakyan. Mas ok kung yung image ng sasakyan mo ay tugma din sa personality mo.

E.g. kimpOy and his Strada - both are rough, tough, and ready to roll.

If image is a concern, any car can have a makeover to make it look better, even a mommy car.....

Just one of many factors.

ako total opposite ng dina-drive ko. I'm not into 4x4 pero I'm stuck with a strada for daily ride. I sparingly drive a mini-van if I dont like the punishing ride of a diesel truck. still not me, kasi wala pa naman ako mga anak.

a car is a car, its main purpose is to take you from point A to point B, no more, no less.

car = image? pogi points? nahhh...its all illusion people.

we are talking about, considering the car's image/looks. not how would you look like when you have a car.

besides, we don't tolerate 'txt' language here. please feel free to use your keyboard. haven't you read our rules and regulations?

imo, if we talk about a car's image, we usually refer to how it is generally perceived by the public. that's why forums like this (i.e. where you get professional & general consumer feedback) are helpful in aiding a person in his decision to buy a car that is attuned to his expectations...
