It's often not readily apparent. And some of it is just trash-talking. Gearheads ARE mostly great folks, but dig into it a bit you find that there are
MG guys who diss Triumphs
Austin Healey who guys diss MGs and Triumphs
Jaguar who guys diss Austin Healeys, MGs and Triumphs
Plenty of BMW guys think their cars walk on water
And numerous Porsche guys think everything else is junk--especially Corvettes.
Mustang and Camaro drivers have long annoyed each other (the old Ford vs Chevy thing)
V-8 lovers look down on anything with less than 8 cylinders
There's a whole culture out there that thinks anything made after 1967 is terrible because that's when the government got involved and made emissions and safety equipment mandatory.
And it extends to us Saab guys. Many of us won't buy domestic or Asian cars and refer to BMW as the dark side.
