I fucking knew you'd use that line. Like it's even remotely the same thing.
Quote:Personality in an inanimate object or mechanical contrivance is projection from the owner, in my opinion. Certainly not inherent.
Nobody said otherwise. What is undeniable is that people buy into brands. The idea of a car being more than just a machine. Lots of people join car clubs and associations for this very reason. I doubt electric car companies will have the same sort of following and loyalty in 50 years as what car companies do now. The basic point I was making is that petrol cars promote more of a following. It has more of a history and people just plain prefer the use of an actual engine producing a real noise. Sure you can make noises similarly with computers and such, but it's not the same and people know that. But whatever.
