>>2970609Your examples are just as fucking stupid, they're the results of lapping up brand cachet-based marketing hype like it's a hot load of jizz.
But the point you're trying to make is valid; they're the people whose life choices always say "price was the main factor in this decision".
Like those people who buy off-brand beer, or "premium" cask wine.
For anybody who actually cares, the cognoscenti, the economical alternative to fine wine is to buy less of it, not to start drinking pig slop.
The alternative for a new 911 is not a Boxster, it's a used 911.
The alternative for a set of Nikkor primes is not a fucking Sigma zoom, it's one Nikkor prime.
