[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This whole thread is crazy... you can have money and choose to drive an old beater, good for you - all it shows is that you don't care about being more comfortable. I don't really get someone driving an old subaru when they can drive a brand new benz, porche, whatever - these cars are just more comfortable to drive, it has nothing to do with status (unless you make it about status). Drive what you like, enjoy life and enjoy your money while you still can[/quote]

I've driven a new benz and a new toyota and they seem the same to me? Like, maybe the materials are nicer? Maybe if I drove really a lot more? Idk. [/quote]

Mercedes is a full line automaker. In the US they used to only sell their mid and high end models, thus the reputation as only a luxury car maker. That is no longer the case, they now sell A,B, and C class cars. No way OP drove a E class or S class and thinks they are similar to a Toyota. The A class starts at $40k, definitely not a luxury car.[/quote]

A C300 and a Honda Accord do not feel the same. The C300 is quieter, better sound system, different interior, and it's a heavier car and drives differently. So they may not be luxury in terms of price or compared to an E class, but you can get a 2023 C300 for cheaper than you can get a 2026 Accord and will get a different experience. Whether someone cares or notices or prefers that experience and design is a different issue.[/quote]
