Wink Why Acura, if you could've bought Mercedes?

So I went on a date the other day with the girl I met online. She asked if I can pick her up since she doesn't have a car. Kinda weird since it is taking place in Los Angeles. So I went along. After a nice dinner I was driving her home, when she popped a question "Why Acura, if you could've bought Mercedes???". Of course I gave her a very good answer , but it made me kind of curious what other ACURA FANs would say if they every had to be asked the same question?

P.S. by the way i heard that few times before - and it was always compared to mercedes ???!!!!

I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a woman who rises and sleeps under the blanket of reliable transportation that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it.

I would rather that you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you buy a car and start driving. Either way, I don't give a DAMN what you think you're entitled to!

I'm sure she meant nothing by it...probably just a car she always wanted to have so she'd wonder why anyone would spend as much as we do on a TL rather than what she's into. No big deal...I don't think I would have even taken offense.

All good until a few weeks later she says why couldn't you have a bigger (use your imagination) and wonders why she'd spend as much time with you rather than the alternate...

Honestly though, I agree to not think much of it - though, some statements should be filtered on the first few dates.

My response would have been fairly simple....."Because I liked the Acura more than the Mercedes." Maybe she was just making small talk.

Because the general public doesn't understand the basic idea of making a decision based more on common sense then brand names.

OP what did you say? I probably wouldn't have been too offended, and would have calmly explained the pros of the Ac vs. the Benz.

I would have send something completely nonsense, like "because my shoes won't fit" Then refused to explain any further.

That or my old standby "because I can fit more bodies in the trunk"
