It's an interesting analogy. OTOH we must remember that here in Brazil the Jap automakers are still often regarded somehow "premium" while Volkswagen, Fiat, Chevy and Ford have a broader popular image. So it seems like the Civic body would be better suited to show off in the slums than an old Beetle.
