Are Chevy's a new Hipster thing?

Don't think younger people care as much about cars, they are transportation and not much else. Would love to have them as neighbors, the people who flaunt luxury cars tend to be jerks. ~ 50 year old.

My friends who live in townhouse communities have fancy cars like BMWs, Mercedes, Teslas and Audi. The difference is crazy.

Don’t forget Subaru’s. Everyone and their mother seems To drive a Forrester.

Rich people can afford to drive a cheap car.
Just like with the clothing. It all started in Hollywood few years ago
when it was the celebrities that were dressing in jeans with holes,
while the rest of the world was and still is overdressing for average
occasion, especially Millennials.
Once you are rich, you can afford to dress like a poor person
but when you are poor you have to dress to get anywhere in life
as people only respect you for how you look and what you drive
in DC area.

No one with half a brain would choose to drive a crappy poor quality American car.

Yeah, young people do not care about the cars because it is not cool to care about the cars.
They care too much about the Earth and being green and are too busy destroying the very Earth
with fast fashion buying and throwing out completely good clothes every five minutes
because they need to look oh so cutting edge.

Car? who can afford a car on such a lifestyle. When you spend on your wardrobe
a car a season you really can not buy a car and have to walk and Uber everywhere
for you are poor and for you need to show of all that junk you keep in your closet
as this is why you bought it in the first place. Not to mention the fact that
all those skinny outfits are so darn tight that they do not allow them to sit as the
stiches will let go so best is to just walk and drive only minimally.

There aren’t any hipsters in DC.

Don't really care about cars and more interested in owning everything without debt and saving/investing for college tuition and retirement.

Actually I take that back. I occasionally see a Suburban or Tahoe. But for the basic non-fancy sedan drivers, it’s always Accords, Camrys, and Passats. Small suvs are Crvs or Rav-4s. Never Taurus, Impala, Equinox, etc.

Chevy Suburbans and Tahoes are expensive, though -- I would actually view them as a "status" car.

Weird part is they all have newer Chevys, Cruz, Malibu, Traverse etc. The 40s- 60s crowd all have BMWs, Mercedes etc.

Is it cause they are broke from home purchase and Chevy has very cheap lease/loan deals? Is is they are uber/metro generation and dont really care about cars and just bought a cheap car to go A to B, or is it some hipster thing buy a Chevy and live in a million dollar home.

Why not get to know the young couples in your neighborhood and actually find out who they are as individuals instead of trying to decipher which cookie cutter narrative fits them best?

Do you have trouble hitting the enter bar? Why can't you write long sentences??

We reached $3M net worth in our 30s and drive old Hondas. OP would be horrified.

Doctors and lawyers are notoriously bad at converting income into wealth.
