Badge Snobbery
I think to a degree there is a lot of
badge snobbery, thats why people buy BMW's 318 and take the 318 off, then its a BMW, and the lay man only see's BMW, and think umm thats an expensive car.
as for Seat V's VW the Leon
Cupra is the better car (my view) against a Golf GTi in performance terms, But non car people don't know Seat ?? whereas VW is everywhere, I almost bought a Mk4 Golf Gti, but the Leon won, basically because it has more character/individuality, and was more powerful, a part of me wishes I'd gone for the
Cupra R with 225bhp, but things being what they are etc, etc...
As a 'Q' car the Leon
Cupra is the the ultimate in supprise the
Cupra R even more so, tho' I have to admitt the Leon
Cupra is a little bland looking the
Cupra R less so coz of the deeper front bumper, but surely this is an advantage as it's less likely to get targeted by thiefs and the like.
I kinda like the 'Q' car look having run several stock looking highly tuned motors in past times that went like stink, it appeals to my perverted sense of humour, when you hammer past a car costing 3 times as much
I love my
Cupra, but 180 bhp is just not enough, I need more, that's the
problem when you ride bikes, car's just don't give you the same buzz, maybe it's only me...
