[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People on this board are always saying other people are obsessed with “image” but I don’t think that’s it at all. It’s more that they’re having a conversation with themselves and car companies are marketing to them. A minivan is practical for a family. But maybe the SUV, which might cost $20k more, makes them feel better. The minivan makes them feel like parenting slog is their whole identity. The SUV makes them feel like they might go on adventures. It makes them feel prepared for foul weather or other vague emergencies, which dials down their anxiety just a little. They like riding high up because it makes them feel safer. I don’t think it’s as deep as thinking about what other people think. It’s just people responding to a product like any other. [/quote] My fully loaded Odyssey was $50k. A loaded Suburban is double. It isn’t just $20k more. And no one is fooled that a Suburban/Expedition is anything more than a mom car. [/quote]
