This is so confused and stupid I actually feel sorry for you. In actuality the car is speech twice over: a person "makes a statement" with the vehicle he or she purchases, whether it be a Rolls, a Porsche or a Ford Pinto. And like Beethoven or Tolstoy, the creator of something is also making a statement with something created, so the design team of the boat is making a statement with the type of boat they put on the market. These are very simple concepts so I'm not surprised you fucked them up royally.
