which goes to show that luxury branding is worthless, if it's all just marketing. I want quality components, quality builds and long lasting performance. I do find that stuff built in china can have all of these qualities, but chances are they don't (and it's deliberate, to reduce costs). Then selling the product at a luxury price to maximize profit.
- addisonl 3y agoDefinitely don’t agree with this at all. Go sit in a VW then sit in an Audi, or Toyota/Lexus, Hyundai/Genesis and tell me they are of the same quality. They are not.
- DANmode 3y agoSit in an Audi, then sit in a Toyota Venza.
- letrowekwel 3y agoDepends on how you define quality. A car that feels nice to sit on and drive may not be the most reliable way to get you from point A to point B consistently. The reliability of many (at least older) Toyota models is impressive, while German reliability has been mostly a myth in the 2000's.
- deaddodo 3y agoThey didn't say luxury is all marketing (ergo, the "if"); they said scoping your car as a luxury product while it's not devalues the meaning. They then provided a specific example and pointed out that most products they've bought/researched from China (so, completely anecdotal) seem to be of lower quality.
- solardev 3y agoI honestly don't know which ones of these are luxury or not. I was in a VW and a Lexas, and many Toyotas. They all felt... totally fine?
- solumunus 3y agoIt’s not clear to me which brands you’re saying are the highest quality, can you elaborate?
- bandyaboot 3y agoAudi, Lexus, and Genesis are the luxury brands for their respective manufacturer. I think they’re saying that the cars sold under those brands are noticeably better quality than the VW, Toyota, and Hyundai branded cars.
