It's equivalent to a sargeant putting on lieutenant stripes. Why would someone do that? It's to make people believe in a lie. There's no other explanation for it, and the more people try to justify it, the more I am inclined to keep going on about it until they admit the truth.

Bingo.
It's really the intent behind what they doing that I find suspect. Personally, I think it's rather pathetic that they're attempting to make people believe they have a car that they actually don't. There's no shame in driving a V6 Mustang or Camaro, so why try to deceive people into thinking you're driving an SS, GT, Shelby, etc.?
And to the guy who chastized us for "anguishing" over these cars? Please. Don't be so overdramatic. I don't see anyone here losing sleep over this or anguishing over this. I couldn't care any less what you do with your car, you're the one making the payments on it. That's not going to stop me from laughing at you behind your back though.
