Can you see why?

The Artist · 06-09-2007, 08:58 PM

So this thread is about you guys telling if you can see why our other members love a certain brand after driving a vehicle of that brand..

for example.. as you all know im not a bmw fan.. but when i drive bimmers.. i instantly understand why ppl love and adore them..

then there are other cars wich ive driven that i dont know why the hell ppl like so much..

an example is volvo.. i just can not see why..

PS
This is only based on your experiences on how the car feels when you drive it or what sensation it gives..
not how it looks..

Enjoy

One I can't jive with is Saab. I understand that they were once quirky and charming cars, but now, well... they don't have much going for them aside from the fact that they're uncommon on the road and get you cheap insurance rates. There's no craftsmanship, styling or performance story of note with Saab. I guess there's boomer and gen-x holdouts who still remember Saab as an interesting "alterna-brand" with a quasi-premium bent. But there's nothinig left of that today but a burnt-out shell of a brand.

I understand why people love Audis, I can really see how the workmanship and attention to detail come to place in the interior. Just look at the chrome meshed dials of the A8, or the white/black gauges of the A6, or the soft-touch buttons on the A4... All high-quality, consistent standards.

I can see why people like Mercedes, they have conservative designs, that look elegant, and the newer interiors are very nice!

Audis are also very nice cars, they look good, a nice mixture between BMW and Mercedes! The interiors aren't bad either!
