I agree with you slamtaz. However, In my opinion, Car's image does not only includes how it looks but also involves how the brand of the car is perceived by the public. (i.e. for other people a bmw will always have a better car image no matter how it looks)

eh puro naman brand new pinag-uusapan ninyo eh

alangan naman pag bibili tayo ng second hand di natin titignan yung overall HIT-SURA ng sasakyan. (di po ako galit ha hehehehe).

personally basta malinis tignan ang sasakyan ok (interior, exterior, engine bay, etc). having a clean image makes me feel clean and look clean.

This is the reason why the 1 Series is popular. Remove the BMW badge and very few people will even consider it.

Even in other countries they treat cars as status symbols. Kahit saan ka pumunta at naka Rolls Royce big time ka. It is only here that Pinoys would consider a American SUV as a status symbol. Mahal kasi sa gas. :lol:
