I wouldn't call Skoda drivers as enlightened.

Nor would I, indeed. What I mean is that until you own a Skoda, you are un-enlightened, regarding the fact that it is not a risky car to buy/own (that is, if you are previously un aware that it is just a VW and therefore not risky anyway).

I suppose you could further suppose then, that if you are unaware of that link, you are fairly unlikely to even consider buying a car you don't just see everywhere.

I would call something like an Alfa Romeo 'risky'

I wouldn't call Skoda drivers as enlightened. Its not like Skoda is the car Jesus would drive. (what would Jesus drive? LOL). Just pointing out that its in a much smaller segment of the market than we think it is. The vast majority of buyers would see Skoda as a risk or not understand it at all. Hence the constant comments of "what is that?".

I think he means enlightened in a sense of being more informed than most people. I would agree with that.
