I dont think the majority of automotive consumers are buying cars purely for the image. I think they buy BMW Mercedes ect. because they enjoy having nice cars. Pople dont drive around to see if other people are looking at them they drive because they enjoy it. At least thats why I would drive nice cars.

On the other hand there is this idea of BLinG", where people will basically display their bank account on their jewlery and their automobiles. Fine german automobiles tend to not be associated with this idea, except for mercedes. I happen to think BMW, porsche, and Audi buyers are not in it for the image. I think thats a sad way to purchase automobiles though.
