Is she just looking for other women to envy her?
Is it about attracting attention from both men and women? Just men? Is it about making her husband jealous?
I don't understand the need for moms to be "hot", in a public way, especially while performing basic parenting functions.
I'm a mom and I'm in good shape and am attractive but it is never my goal to look "hot" when at my kid's school. I'm usually going for some combo of approachable and competent, which I thin I achieve. And this is more for kids and teachers/administrators, as I want my kid's friends to like me enough to be cool during carpools or playdates, and I want a good relationship with the school. I don't think too hard about what other parents think of me but it has never occurred to me to want them to think I'm hot, and if anything I downplay my sexuality in kid-focused, school-centric settings.
So I'm baffled here. What even does this all mean?

Something with big headlights & a small trunk.

Yoga mom who wears athleisure prob wants a sleek and sporty coupe-like SUV. I believe BMW X6 invented the segment. Porsche Cayenne is another. They project a sexy successful image, while something like a Tahoe is just an ugly and boring kid hauler.
A loaded Tahoe costs almost as much as a Cayenne. Never understood with stay at home moms needs 350+ horsepower to drive to Whole Foods.

Tahoes are ugly. The smaller sporty SUVs can still haul a couple of kids without being so ugly.
Sure. You can drive a car you find better looking. But suggesting a car projects a more successful image than another car that costs almost the same just shows a lack of awareness. Which is generally what I’d expect from someone driving a Porsche Cayenne.
Tahoes, Yukons and Wagoneers are function over form ugly as sh** and Midwest prole with money coded. Uber black and federales in DC. Pretentious and fit striver moms will sacrifice some function to drive a more stylish vehicle
