It’s Not Cool to Follow The Trends

The "used to be" must have lease car to pose in.

So I have noticed allot of people tend to follow the leader when it comes to style. But I think a lot of people don’t realize that a couple of people started that trend and they have moved on while you are now copying their old style.

I don’t know if anyone has noticed recently but Audi Sales have jumped through the roof lately. These same vehicle’s back in the 90’s wouldn’t sell, you had the rare people with them but they were never that popular. They were still ranked up there with BMW, Mercedes, Saab, Lexus, Cadillac, but BMW and Mercedes were the cool cars to own in the late 90’s into the year 2000.

Recently BMW and Mercedes sales have dropped, and the lemming yuppy flock are all running to the Audi dealerships to trade in there BMW’s and Mercedes for overpriced Volkswagons. Why is this? Could it be due to the fact that just like every trend eventually the trend goes out and a new one comes in?

The new must have lease car to pose in.

Back in the 80’s Lincoln and Cadillac ruled the luxury car market. The early 90’s Saab and BMW and Jaguar really set a trend till people realized that you couldn’t keep a Saab or Jag on the road without it breaking down. People then shifted to Mercedes and BMW lucky for them they changed the style enough to make the cars look new again. Audi recently came out with all new style cars with LED headlights and the Audi super car the R8. I saw a couple of suits driving these right away, then it took off like wild fire. Now when I speak with people, right away when you ask them what car they would buy if they had the money?  It’s Audi! What happened to BMW? Or Mercedes?

Nope.

A lot of the top luxury vehicles mentioned by people are Audi, Lexus, Acura… Then BMW, Mercedes, and what about Saab? I’m waiting for the day when Saab will be the trend. Or Cadillac,  and that may actually happen now that GM has began to change some of the designs and market the Cadillac.

Sure, It's a great car.. But will it make me look like I am rich?

I don’t know why people just cant be themselves. Get something no one else has start your own trend. Remember when Hummer was cool? Now its just not! People kinda look down on owners of Hummers because they are useless wastes of space. Its a glorified overpriced Chevy Tahoe.

Start your own trend.

Instead of flocking to Starbucks, go to Dunkin’ Donuts or something. Or don’t even care, get what you want because it tastes good or looks good or because it fits your income.

Bentley won't even lease you a car as a 25 year old, recent immigrant, retail sales clerk at the mall. However you can still have a $800 a month for 6 years, 0% down BMW..

My parking lot at work is now full of white Audi’s. People are even buying up the old Audi’s from the 90’s that no one liked. But now people say wow how did he get an Audi?

My Gawd man.

Kids are beginning to fall off the Honda Civic bandwagon.

Now the cool thing is drifting!

So you now see kids buying old Nissan’s and Toyota’s. The next generation will change the whole market, and as far as I can see companies, like Kia, and Hyundai taking the sales away from Honda because kids are following a trend to rear wheel drive cars.

Weird ain’t it?

I say be yourself, don’t go out and buy a Civic because everyone else has one. Purchase it because you really want one. If you really want a Jeep purchase a Jeep.
