good points. i simply meant by driving experience. all the other stuff like exotic materials and high price tag wasn't computed into the original question.
did u ever see the top gear where an evo out did a lambo on a track? sure an evo might not be a supercar, but it begs the question, where's the gap?

Once again, it's just a different class of car. A Lambo is no-comprimise bling. You still aren't going to see Paris Hilton picking up an Evo as another fashion accessory.

the italians and europeans are masters at creating status. they create so much that the rest of the world wants to be like them. if you've ever been to italy, though, you can't help but feel like the wool has been pulled over your eyes. 'question about price. if you have to ask..." oooh ahhh.

i believe that many old men (and women, Ms. Perky and friends) love and bought the S because they dont care so much about status as youngsters do. they know a good thing/deal when they see it, instead of letting status fog over their objective vision.
Not to mention... the S2000 is pretty nice status still for a "youngster." What the hell, "good deal"? It sounds like we're talking about an ecobox here. The S2000 is still a sports car that starts in the $30ks, where most main-stream luxury cars are.

in the early days of s2ki and the s2000, before it became a asian ricer car, the most common person to be seen driving it was an old white man (in my area). many old men never grow up and always need to feel like an alpha male. so you're completely right. but i was just noticing that more old people care less about status than young people, esp based on evolutionary theory.

I'd say "I don't want to be like them", but I'm a product of Germany so I can't really 
Ya I guess if you're somebody who lives off brand names that Europe is ahead of the curve. If you're that somebody you probably also need to watch Fight Club a few dozen times.
I'm the kind of person that likes style and whatnot, but I think flaunting "brands" is tacky as hell.
