Why do people want to buy the big continental cars?

They can buy 2-3 smaller East Asian cars with that $$$.
They just wanna show off??? -
Quality over quantity.
One good car drive better than three mediocre ones, then three cars for what?

As for showing off, definitely will have some.
The rest i think just likes the ride feel, safety and somewhat better quality bla bla. -

When people are loaded, they WANT better stuff, they can afford it, they get it. -
I mean you can easily buy a 5 room flat with the $$$ spent on a BMW 750...you spend so much on it but dont use it???

they are people whose cars(or collection of cars) are more expensive than their properties. no big deal actually.

This example has a point lah.Originally posted by Marco_Simone:I mean you can easily buy a 5 room flat with the $$$ spent on a BMW 750...you spend so much on it but dont use it???
But seriously, sometimes you just want to have something nice because you can afford it.
Let's not be too utilitarian ya..

Reliability.
A 1972 Mercedes(there's a 200 being sold in sgcarmart for 25k+) will obviously be more reliable than a Chery -

They want to test the limits of their minds and bodies and they can take it as they dare to drive on the roads in them. -

Two simple words to TS's question: Engineering and branding.
All the engineering put into manufacturing a continental car and a Japanese car is different. I would say every single cent paid for a more expensive continental car is worthed it if you can afford it. Everything is of a higher quality and of sounder engineering than Japanese saloons. The leather used to wrap the seats, for example, is factory-fitted for continental cars and locally fitted for most Japanese cars. This simply translates to good quality leather that lasts longer (factory-fitted) and lousier leather that feels PVC-ish and doesn't lasts as long (locally-fitted). And of course, the level of fit and finish in the interior is better for a continental car compared to a Japanese car. And quality of the plastics used in the interior is also better for a continental car.
Almost everything in most of continental cars are more well-engineered than Japanese/Korean/Malaysian/China cars. Engines are more well-engineered, suspension system more sophisticated, chassis more sophisticated as well and ergonomically, it's also better.
BUT of course, at the end of the day, it's the brand name that matters MOST.
Which will 'WOW!' more people? A Toyota/Honda/Kia/Hyundai, or a BMW/Mercedes/Audi/Jaguar? Obviously it's the latter.
But anyways, I also always see a Jaguar XJ8 parked at a HDB open-space carpark opposite my school, unused. Note that it's an XJ8, not XJ6; so this guy is actually quite rich. But why doesn't he drive it, it's a mystery. It's quite a badly maintained car. Scratches everywhere and the leaping Jaguar on his bonnet is gone!
