[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We ended up in a Subaru Impreza because I wanted a hatchback with decent cargo space that wasn't an SUV or crossover. If they still made the Fit we might have gotten one, but the HR-V has weird rear door handles that my kid can't reach. We're definitely not rich.

That said, it's a car that is more popular with UMC people for whatever reasons so I can see where it would get the reputation of being a car for rich people. My parents call it "a liberal car," and they basically don't ever see them where they live in the rural South, but my MoCo neighborhood is full of them.[/quote]

I am the one in the other thread who called Subarus bougie - and I think you've hit on something that I didn't capture (or think about) in that post: that as I understand the term bougie, it does mostly refer to things that liberal white people like. Not the richie rich white people, but the sort of "paying off student loans but trying to buy some original artwork and eat organic" set. People who read clothing labels to try to shop ethically even though they are still in debt from grad school. People whose income hasn't quite caught up with their taste.[/quote]
