it may lack the upgrades but for example the ride quality, drive quality, of a base bmw 3 series is better than that of a fully loaded camry any day..
its not always done for vanity, people have personal preferences as well.
sure there are people who are only interested in showing off. and then there are those that are not. someone may like a car for its handling, shape, look and feel..
I mean same can be said about camry owners too, u can get a fully loaded corolla or civic or a base camry or accord..are they doing it for status and vanity or does vanity only kick in for lexus and bmw etc?
To some extent this is true. Even for those who mod cars or are car enthusiasts. But I tend to think those people are the exception versus the rule.
Yes, let us criticize cars and say that they are only purchased to show off. But a word about spending loads of money on weddings and the associate traditions, and out will come the Hadees and references from the Quran. At that point everyone will just nod their head, and the topic will be dead.
But anything else, critcize it.
Not sure what you're getting at, except for extensive sarcasm. Spending ridiculous amounts of money on weddings is showing off as well. And who brought the Quran into this?
My stance is that people at my Masjid buy fancy cars as status symbols. IMO, there's not much to be argued there. You're welcome to take it to next level and engage in full on debate about a non-issue, but its kinda stalemate, friend.
