I wish we could all just be happy with the variety of car choices we have these days but that just isn't the world we live in though, especially on the interwebz where everyone can say what they want w/o much repercussions. Everyone's an e-thug these days.
I think it also depends on age. I post on Rennlist, and the discussions tend to be fairly mature (compared to here) when it comes to cars of other manufacturers. But Rennlist is also populated with more well-to-do, older, owners. They don't emotionally identify with a brand or car, and defend it as part of their persona. That's a young man's viewpoint of the world. That's why you get so many "kill" stories here on E90Post, because a lot of younger guys think it's actually a life accomplishment to race people at the stop light.
