The second most expensive thing most people buy, they keep it years, and 'wear' it most every day as they go about their business. It's not surprising to me that people care about the way their car looks like they care about anything else closely associated with them.
- telchior 5y agoThere's a lot there to care about: gas mileage, the maintenance schedule and reliability, the interior feel, and most of all, the feel of driving it. The exterior appearance is the least consequential, least differentiated and most boring aspect of a car. So it's also not crazy to think that, perhaps, people shouldn't care so much about it. And really, they don't -- from my observation, what people care most about is the brand of the hood ornament, with various post-hoc justifications about appearance after that fact.
