"Yeah I'm really into cars"
lmao, sure thing, buckaroo
I'm very much not into cars, so what's wrong with a mustang?
Also not really into cars, but I think it has to do with the fact that people who know nothing about cars think it's one of the best cars ever or something (mostly due to marketing aimed at machismo and shit). But if you start learning about cars there's probably much better, more enjoyable rides out there, probably for much cheaper (since they're not purely about marketing and image).
Please take all of this with a heaping pinch of salt and anyone who knows better is more than welcome to correct me or add to what I said if I missed the mark completely.
I am also not into cars and this just became my personal favorite example of how well marketing works. I had basically thought they were some of the best.
I have friends who are very into cars. I've not absorbed as much information by osmosis as I could have, but I've absorbed some. Either way, I know the Mustang isn't nearly as special as many American tough guys think.
Edit: The other person who replied to my comment made me think of another point. The Mustang is trying to be a super-special-manly-car while giving you an everyday car with all the seats and storage and stuff of everyday cars. Problem is, if I had to guess, it probably ends up sucking at both and just making people who know better realise you're a dumbass.
More or less yeah. They are big impractical cars that kind of look like they are for the real world because they have storage space, seats in the back and stuff like that, but really they are for driving around and showing off how big and important you are.
Like something like a Ferrari or a Lamborghini but worse because at least they look like sports cars designed for racing.
I certainly wouldn't want somebody who drove a car like that designing a car for doing the school run. Completely different priorities.
