I mean you don't have to buy whatever it is they produce, right? From what I've observed, people here don't generally order the car... rather engage in exhaustive searches and are kept up at night by depreciation... So... what is it?
I admit, I haven't gone to see my physician, but if this car is built, does my penis shrink? Will I go bald? Will my house be devalued? Will George RR Martin be thrown into such a panic we won't know what happens at the Wall after A Dance With Dragons? Will the 718 further throw True Blood into a laughable, unwatchable sitcom? Does the creation of 718 somehow shed light into how "Friends" essentially forgot that Ross already had a kid (Ben, IIRC) and didn't seem to address that cliffhanger at it's series conclusion? Will David Ortiz now take selfies with the 718 because Samsung asks him to? Is this the real reason Letterman is stepping down? Is this the same reason why Frank Sinatra never wrote his own music? Was he too concerned over the whole Edsel fiasco? Did President Bush come across a picture of the Pontiac Aztek and forget about checking evidence for WOMD? Why oh why, should I care?

Simply because the brand image effects the older cars and the resale value and others image of your car despite it being made in a different time, could be for the better could be for the worse. Regardless of this though it is about having a passion for the brand, same as how if you played football in college while you are not a part of the current team, you still very much so hope they do well and it does all matter to you because the brand or football team is your passion, weather a current part of it or not.
