Ct3833 Supersonic August 10, 2021 Share August 10, 2021 (edited) I can't bieve it, I save up my entire life just to buy a COE Mercedes and now the paradigm have shifted? I have to save up again to buy a COE Kia? 😪😪 Anyway, I believe it is the audience and the way the survey is conducted. It is like I ask a YP what he think is a cheap and affordable sport car, next I say Ferrari and Lambo are no longer the dream sport cars.

Brand loyalty won't change over night unless something too screw up. If any, the shift will change progressively over time. And to say that three brands all gone in one survey suddenly, the only constant is the survey itself, that means the survey is screw up. I am not protecting any brands but the results is too skewed to be trusted. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fxfx 1st Gear August 10, 2021 Share August 10, 2021 (edited) It won't matter where these german cars are ranked, they will still be more desirable than many of the "top 10" brands. I remember years ago when the local papers did a car of the year award once a year, there was a year where a japanese car (not lexus or GTR, NSX that kind just <100k type) "beat" a 911 to be the car of the year, does this make any sense? After that article came out, guess how many people threw away their 911's and bought the japanese car....zero would be a good guess Edited August 10, 2021 by Fxfx wrong word 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
