[quote name="Senor Barborito MetaFilter Post"]What I can do, however, is prevent myself from operating on terms of brand/counter-brand in any capacity whatsoever except where it directly meets my needs, wants, and (as Firas pointed out) principles. My approach is, and you nailed it, that of a "spendthrift who is so self absorbed and dismissive of anyone else's opinion that they would never, ever buy an item simply based on its brand value or cachet." I have not, and will never understand the concept of luxury cars nor why anyone in their right mind would ever purchase such a thing. I am, for whatever reason, completely colorblind to whatever impulse it is that keeps Lexus afloat. posted by Ryvar at 6:30 AM PST on December 12 [/quote]
