hang on hang on we’re getting a bit lost from the original thread’s purpose here. The original thread was what stereotype was your car, not “sell your car company in one sentence”. Now the two can be one and the same but you have to at least reference some kind of cultural (if not politically incorrect) stereotype.

Hodan: The Driver who thinks they know cars, but really doesn’t.
ADV: That person who really, really doesn’t understand how to buy a good car.
Emeraude: For that guy at work who thinks he’s cool.
MaGM: For Fake America.
LBDLM: Those people who like french cars a little bit too much, and see no flaws, they buy the cars with the nonsencial and long french name.

Maesima - by vehicle era
pre-1992 - Socialists or those from the developing world who well didn’t have much choice or else eccentric western collectors and grey import tuners. Who will boost about how rare and exclusive their ride is…at least in their own country. All the while praising their complete lack of equipment as a more ‘pure’ and ‘driver-focused’ than it’s far better equipped and performing rivals.
1990s-2000s - Mostly those who dreamed of owning a proper sporty luxury vehicle like a Rennen or Erin but had nowhere near enough money for anything like that and had to settle for a little-known import. The exception is the sports models which are owned by tuner bros ruining them with terrible poorly fitted aftermarket body kits and other suspect mods.
Present - For those that wish Saminda was still making cars like it did in the 1990s. 
Although generally, the majority of owners still don’t know anything about their car beside that it seems to starts every time and people say it looks rather ‘sporty’. As a result, they tend to drive in a rather exuberant manner and will smugly tell you how much better value it is than its rivals. The performance cars, however, are still mostly driven by tuners who will tell you how much better it is than any of its JDM rivals. Nevermind all the mods they had to do to get it to do so…
Sachirui - Usually, rich younger businessmen who enjoy golf and thinks people might suspect it’s a more established brand if they don’t look too closely. They often don’t really know anything about cars and are just leasing it until they can get a promotion and move to the next level.

Cavallera - the perfect cars for absolute narcissistic assholes who think the Pagani philosophy applied to every and any kind of car is a fantastic idea.

Well, we’ve seen them a few times in challenges lately.
Minerva - People stuck firmly in the past who don’t care that they’re driving a shitbox with 1980’s technology.
And the other two companies I have that have only made small appearances on the forums.
Sinistra - “I wanted a Storm but cheaper and RWD.” (Hint: Sinistra is Storm with some time travel and one very cranky android involved.)
Pharte - The worst of Italian reliability mixed with the worst of American design, driven by people who view the flaws as “character” and claim that if you had a “passion for driving” you would drive one, too. While subsequently ignoring the very American solid rear axle mated to an underpowered turbo I4.

Why do I hear the voice of a 30-something mother of two when I read this

Thank you for summing that up for me, actually. I’m half-asleep at this point, so keeping things short and summarizing is a little difficult right this moment.
Oh, I didn’t mean it that way to suggest that what you said was inappropriate. I just couldnt help picking the low hanging fruit 
Better that than the mother of two who insists you buy an SUV “because every other Mum in our playgroup has one”

As I said, you summarized what I was trying to say, but I lack the wakefulness to be elegant with words. I should head to bed, but I don’t want to right now.
Ah yes, because she definetley needs a hatchback on stilts to take the kids to school. It makes perfect sense!
must stop ranting about suvs, must stop ranting about suvs…

The official car brand for hat-fitted old people with boring taste that never looks at their rear-view mirrors while driving, or youngsters that don’t have their granparents anymore and trash the car out.

The official car brand for expensive-hat-fitted old people with boring taste that never looks at their rear-view mirrors and have a lot money to spend on a car and… they never die.

You sir, you… are a douche. A massive dou— BEHAVE PROPERLY ON THE ROAD, MORON! This is not a race track, and that is not a race car! ASSHOLE!

What is this? A discount sales in the Znopresk dealer? I mean, does anyone buy this new? I know only people have bought it second hand for a fist of peanuts on craiglist.

The fact that you own nearly a Group B car does NOT mean you have Group B driver skills. And no, you can’t turbocharge your… everything. And no, the fact that you own a mid-engined sports car with a turbo V8 does not mean that you are rich and famous and have a supercar, because it is a mass produced, 25 year old beater with half the original horsepower and double the fuel consumption. And don’t be so happy about that mass production, the parts are horrendously expensive anyway.
And of course rich Arabs and Russians with absolutely no idea about driving, especially driving a 1000hp supercar.

If it didn’t break just after leaving the factory, it will never do. But it will still have no power, handle like a shopping cart and be made of lead, twigs, old blankets and recycled plastic bags. Favourite grandpa’s car in Central and Eastern Europe.

For my brand - The highway is the track, corners are walls.
aah the classic, it cant corner problem
Birch Motors: Won’t break down ever, safe af, biggest engine available. No-one from its home country (Finland) will be able to drive it because of horrendous taxes.
Driver of new cars: Typical British grandma, who says “lovely” a lot. Usually a calm driver who will never let those 500 horses under the bonnet loose.
Driver of older cars: 18, mangled around a tree because of ice, snow and RWD coupled to a 300hp engine.
I see some contrast here.
