Who drives who?
Discussion
So, to my simple mind, it seems that certain types of people are attracted to certain types of cars. Is this due to marketing departments being very good at their jobs, and successfully getting the folk they would like to drive their cars, to drive their cars, or is it that the marketing departments react to who tends to drive their cars, and then trim their advertising, to ensure that the 'type' keep buying their product?
.Until you are sufficently equipped with knowledge to counteract the bulls
t that marketing and advertising throws at you then you are always going to be influenced by it. You only have to look at the Audiophile or Super Unleaded threads on here to see excellent examples of males falling for the same kind of bullst that women buy into when it comes to cosmetics etc. What you do find on Pistonheads is lots of people who are sufficiently knowledgable about cars to not fall for marketing completely - although the power that big brands like Audi and BMW can build can sometimes be overwhelming.
