- mediaman 16y agoTrue, but I think the model differentiation is more apparent from immediate visual inspection: for example, a shopper may not know any meaning behind BMW's 3 series, 5 series and 7 series, but it's obvious upon looking at it that 5 is a bigger car than the 3 and the 7 even more so. Whereas computers are much more mysterious -- it's not always easy to tell which is better based on looking at it. Also, cars are much more expensive, so a consumer is more willing to invest time in figuring out odd naming practices. Still, I have to wonder whether even luxury auto makers would be better off with better naming.
