I'm not a carhead and most of us use brands to tell if it's good or not. If unknown brand car I see once looks cute that means literally nothing without extra information.
But if I see the same unknown brand car 10x in a day and then I see it in a videogame etc. and it's expensive so many carheads spend a bunch of money on it = endorsement, it's no longer unknown brand.
Same for everything, phones, cameras, whatever. You gotta be discerning to appreciate beyond the brand and most people are not.
If I see a cute car I check what's the brand, how much it costs etc and THEN I can think "yeah I want this cool looking car". I don't think anyone would use just cute shape of a car seen once as a justification for buying it.
Fast body? That means you must be a carhead. How do I know it's a fast body? Why would I even need a fast body?
