[quote name="Senor Barborito MetaFilter Post"][quote]Some luxury cars have pretty nice navigation systems and noise cancellation on the car audio. I could live with that. I could give a damn if it's a luxury brand, though. In fact, it seems like there may be a contradiction in there, Ryvar. What if a luxury car provides you the features you want, and other cars don't? Would you avoid it because it's a "luxury car"?[/quote] No, and I was kicking myself over this as I reread my post. Some amendment is in order to clarify my meaning: [quote]"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.'"[/quote] Tack on a sentence at the end: "Nor would I avoid an item simply based on its brand value or cachet." posted by Ryvar at 6:45 AM PST on December 12 [/quote]
