Scenario: Luxury

It's not about the car. It's about the experience. Touch everything. Listen to nothing.

What to Observe First

During Walkaround (first 5 minutes)
  • Close the door — listen to the thunk. That's engineering. Film it.
  • Touch the paint — is it metallic? Multi-layer? Noticeable depth?
  • Check panel gaps — luxury means precision. Uneven gaps = fail.
  • Open the door slowly — check the door feel, the weight, the dampening.
  • Look at the wheels — size, design, finish. Luxury wheels are art.
  • Note the badge — the brand IS the product. History matters.

Film Priority

Must-Film Luxury Shots
  • Door close sound — record it clean. Thunk. That is 50 years of engineering in one sound.
  • Material close-ups — leather stitching, wood grain, metal trim. Get the texture on camera.
  • Seat demo — adjust it. Show the range. If massage: demonstrate. If ventilation: feel it.
  • Sound system brand — film the speaker grille logo. That is the jewelry.
  • Silence test — shut doors, windows up, engine on. 3 seconds of nothing. That is the luxury.

Talking Points

Price: [price]. At this price, you're not buying a car. You're buying an experience. And the experience starts with... [closes door] ...that.

Price framing — you're not buying transportation, you're buying a feeling.

This [material] is real. Not imitation. Touch it. [Pause for touch]. THAT is what [price] buys you.

Material proof — tactile demonstration = authority.

And now, silence. [3 seconds silence]. No road noise. No wind noise. This is a rolling soundproof chamber.

NVH — silence IS the luxury.

Common Traps

Verdict Template

"This [Brand] [Model] isn't for everyone. And that's the point. If you notice the difference between real [material] and imitation, if you appreciate silence, if you want a car that makes you smile every time you get in — this is [verdict]."
