[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This whole post is nuts and full of delusional people. If rich people aren't buying expensive cars then who is buying them? Manufacturers aren't making these cars to look at, they make them to SELL. SOMEONE is buying and driving these cars and it's not Joe or Jane Blow middle class because they can't afford a six-figure car, they can barely afford a six-figure house. [/quote]

The vast majority are lease. There are people who have a ton of money and $1300/month to lease a new RR is a rounding error, but there are many more who drive cars they can’t afford and wealthy people who don’t give a crap about cars and drive their F150/Silverado/highlander into the ground. The OP’s hypothesis that there is some sort of automatic correlation between driving a mass-produced middle class striver car like Audi/BMW/Mercedes and wealth is tenuous at best. [/quote]

Yeah, right, lol. Show me the data.  By and large, middle class people are driving Honda’s, Toyota’s, Ford, and good old American cars.  UMC drive SUV’s. Rich drive luxury cars. Not all rich. Some don’t care and drive beaters. They are not the norm. [/quote]

DP. But you’re sadly mistaken. The ones who buy/lease the BMW/Benz/Audi’s are the ones who make decent incomes but have the most debt aka the middle class folks. Drive a nice car and live in a decent sized house but have nothing but debt.  Those “luxury” cars are nothing but overpriced status symbols With “features” that a generic Honda and Ford have nowadays. People will lease a brand new BMW X3 but then have a 100k student loan note. In otherwords, broke people are driving these luxury cars.

The Keeping up with the Joneses mentality in the the DMV is super real.
