...the superiority of the Porsche is based on sound, well understood engineering principles and tends to be quite objective. While Joe six pack may not be able to afford a Porsche, he understands and appreciates what's behind it. OTOH, the most publicly visible aspects of audiophillia have tended to reject objectivism in favor of what appears to be mystical and majik excess with a good measure of one upmanship thrown in for good measure. Overall , a much less inviting environment to the uninitiated.
Fahrvergnügen was just a VW advertising campaign slogan.
