Having kust gone through the whole of this debate with myself (due to change company car soon)...
Am I a bdage snob? Yep
With huge apols and no disrespect intended, there is
no way that I could bring myself to be driving round in certain cars / brands
Ford. Yes, we all know they are pretty good these days. BUT nothing says 'lower management rep car' than a Mondeo. ST220? yep, maybe. See my reasoning at the end of the post
The new Kuga looks good though!
KIA. On one hand, it says 'canny buyer, getting lots of kit for their money'
On the other hand it says "couldn't afford something 'better', trying to act all up themselves"
Skoda. Again, now great cars. Could I stand the constant p-take from the rest of the team at work though?
Vauxhall. Whatever you get, it's a rep-mobile. VXR possible exceptions. But still a fast rep-mobile.
Audi. You are definately paying for the badge. Having owned 3 before the Civ, the quality
is better - but not £thousands better.
BMW. See Audi.
Toyota / Hyundai. On a par with Honda, good, sensible choice. Especially if you pump for one of the less mainstream models.
Honda. See above
My 'reasons'?
At the end of the day, it's a company car.
And it
will be compared against all the other cars in the team.
And we're an unmerciful bunch
We rip the p out of the guy who has had 4 consequtive Jags - as being Mondeos in drag.
I had the P ripped when I got my TT (Golf in drag)
Gawd help anyone who turns up in an estate or an MPV LOL
Do I therefore need a body part extender / substitute?
No.
But do I need something I can easily 'defend'?
Sadly, yes.
The Civ made this task easy
Not sure yet what will this time round.
anyway. Enough waffle.
One final point to make...
If all those people on here are so vocally anti-badge snobbery, how come there is a cross over with the people who get wound up about non-R owners using R bits?
