The line between luxury and non is pretty thin anymore. It's not like it used to be when there was a marked difference. But today when you step into any car, it feels luxurious. Leather, fancy trim, big screen with nav, heated seats.

The only reason to get a luxury brand now is to show that you've made it.

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.

Yep. Nothing to prove.

The truly rich don’t flaunt it.

Both of those are pretty pricy in less you got them used. I'm looking at explorers and most of the decent ones are high 30's-40's.

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

Yup. "The Millionaire Next Door" personified. The wealthy drive Fords and Toyota's.

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.

Yes.

I figured you meant the Tex Mex restaurant...so...yes

They are reasonably priced. Mine's a lemon and I would not recommend them.

I had a 1.2 million home and drove a Honda. What does that say about me?
