Marketing just exploited these references in their campaign efforts.

An analogy would be the adidas NMD referencing their archive catalog in a similar way with their design and marketing material (Boston Super ~ AE86, Rising Star ~ S800, Micropacer ~ 2000GT).
Agree. Though what's more important is, how is it related to consumers' perspective? It's always price point of the product. Price point segments consumers and determines demographics.
