[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Or do they want and like all the eyeballs on them and people assuming they're made of money? I'd honestly feel incredibly awkward randomly rolling up to work in an expensive car. I'd worry it could hurt my career and perception with colleagues, superiors and clients. Once on a business trip I was randomly given some super expensive Mercedes SUV rental and it felt like everyone was gawking whenever parked.

I think Tesla has mastered the fancy-but-subtle styling/branding – but so many people have fancy and flashy Range Rovers, Yukon Denalis, Escalades, BMW X7s, Porsche SUVs, expensive Mercedes sedans and SUVs, G-Wagons, Bentley SUVs they're practically a dime a dozen.

At the very least I feel like I'd need a second lower-key car when I didn't want anyone to notice me.[/quote]

Please make up your mind, OP.  Either people notice these cars and draw assumptions about their drivers based on the cars, or they are common-place and a dime a dozen, and so completely unremarkable.  They can't be both.

And FWIW, I drive a Honda, as does my wife.  Cars aren't really our things, despite being able to afford most luxury cars.  But we do spend money on several non-essential items - travel and food, in particular - what I'm sure many people would consider frivolous.  As long as they aren't hurting anyone else, I find it best to jot judge the way others spend discretionary income.  [/quote]

Dime a dozen was in reference to how popular $80k+ cars have become, not that people are totally numb to them. In other words, lots and lots of people must not be bothered by the extra attention and optics?[/quote]
