What Percentage Of The People YOU Know Buy Vehicles SOLELY Because Of Looks And Status?

If you're a reader of AutoSpies.com then it's a pretty good guess you're doing well in life.

You have a good job, live in a nice home or apartment and enjoy the finer things.

And it's a safe assumption to say that the people in your circle or who live near you are in the same boat.

When a friend or neighbor gets a new vehicle they can talk all they want about specs and practicality but what we want to know is what percentage of them really only bought it for LOOKS and STATUS?

Over 50%?

Under 10%?

25%?

Let us know what YOU think is the percentage of folks that are all SHOW.

No one will ever own up to it personally, but we all KNOW they're out there.

And WHO is more guilty?

The MEN or the LADIES when it comes to this?

Spies, discuss and be sure to give us some examples...

In my neighborhood and at my income level, I hate to admit it but at least 70% of the People I know buy vehicles SOLELY because Of Looks And Status. They don't care about what magazines have to say, rankings or any other BS opinion. Most of them want to ensure everyone knows they are highly educated, wealthy and have taste.

100% of Range Rover sales. Its the epitome of a doucher car! Nothing is special about it other than its high price and lack of reliability.
