I actually prefer driving a non-luxury make. I like to buy based off of value and what i am actually getting than for brand prestige. I def would not pay a premium for a badge. The car needs to be better in tangible ways that matter to me enough to justify the added cost, not just be comparable but have a fancy badge. That's why i like that the GTR is a Nissan and not an Infiniti. Gold Diggers probably won't notice you because it's 'just a nissan', but their sugar daddy's in their Porsches and Ms def will and they'll respect the car for sure because the car is a monster, not because it is a 'insert expensive brand here'
