Your theory requires that the sheeple have the independent thinking and intelligence required to veer away from the herd.

There are still many, many people around who've "always had Fords, and me dad always had Fords too". In the general mindset, Fiat make tinny little boxes that rust.

Mine came from a Subaru dealer. It was half the price of the equivalent age Subarus but still ignored.

We did also look at two others that were at second hand general car dealers. We didn't have to fight away bargain hunting buyers to get to either of them.

Brits seem to be generally suspicious of anything that's a lower price (why's it cheaper?). In fact, people think something is better as they know it cost more. We brits are appalling snobs really. The badge on your car tells your neighbours how wealthy and successful you are.
