Advertising hype to buy a new model is merely a fenzied push to get one
dissatisfied with what they presently have! Not that the current model
is in ANY way inferior, but soon the owners believe it is, and wonder
how the hell they were ever talked into such a piece of crap body!
I think what Tom is aiming at is having a path to more upmarket models.
Like, if you buy into a carmaker that has economy and midrange cars, but
no high end sport model, you might consider switching brands for that
sport model. The fact that your brand has no high end sport model means
that you have no choice. With a brand that has economy, midrange, SUV,
top notch sport models, and even full-on luxury cars, at least you have a
choice.
Yes, I know of what you speak.
Not sure that "upgrade" fits, but surely, if you want to stay with a
marque, and want better or more capable than what you have, it has to be
called something, doesn't it!
And, of course, if they don't offer any, that's the end of the road!
I understand.
For whatever reason you want better, and your favorite brand doesn't
offer any such...that's it.
I think car analogies are dangerous in any event. If I wanted a top
performing sports car, I would look at Aston Martin. If I wanted an SUV,
Land Rover. Horses for courses :-)
Or maybe that Land Rover with two (500 HP?) engines and the 20" tyres?
0-100 kph in less than 6 seconds? Or was that 5 seconds?
Forgot what it's called, but surely YOU know of it. May be a "one-off"
for all I know...
