That would depend on where you reside I guess. When I clicked to answer, 27 people had viewed the thread and not one bothered to answer. Weirdest group I ever saw.
There used to be a time that your car was your status symbol. As you got more successful, you bought a more luxurious or sportier car. In the early to mid 20th century, if you drove a Cadillac you were considered to have reached the pinnacle of your profession. Then, Cadillac was considered the Standard of the World.
Now, most anyone can have anything with the costs of leasing being so affordable to most. Joe Average can drive a Mercedes or a Cadillac on a lease, whereas he likely could never afford to buy one.
It seems nowadays, the somewhat successful people or those that want to appear successful, drive Lexus, BMW, Porsche, M.B.'s Audi's and a lot of other high end imports. 90% of them are leased because of the silly tax laws in America, the cost of the lease can be written off as a business expense, even though there is no business, the guy is merely an employee of a company.
Those that reside in Europe, it seems to what I see, drive EuroEconoboxes. With fuel being the price that it is in most countries, big automobiles are for the very rich or dignitaries.
And you down under are losing your Holdens to the frickin Chinese. Just like the US, your government is selling you out by letting the Korean, Japanese and Chinese junk into your country.
