And, while it's not a critical concern, image does play into things. I have said I drive a BMW in spite of it's image and it's true. I just can't look past the ricer stereotype associated with the WRX and Evo. I would never buy a car because of it's image but, in some cases, I will avoid a car for that reason.

Hey, it is what it is.
