You're right. I'm not being charitable.
I see what you're saying about it being a compromise. I have driven compromises for years (and still do). The problem with a dressed up econobox isn't that it's a compromise, it's that the marketing and customers pretend that compromise turns it into something it isn't.
Charity is a response to poverty. Delusion or pretension isn't poverty. Someone who can afford $38K for a Civic Type R in order to pretend he's driving a sports car isn't likely to need the charity. Someone who is culturally impoverished enough to delude himself into believing he's driving a sports car probably doesn't deserve it.
So no, I'm not feeling particularly charitable about the posermobiles.
