I find that an unusually large percentage of those driving that stupid small Lexus SUV (essentially a taller, pricier Camry) do indeed drive like morons.

I had a Lexus before a M-B, and they were both great cars, but other people seem to pay a lot more attention to the latter. That wasn't why I bought it, and I was honestly surprised by how often people let me know in public that they like it. No one ever said anything to me about my Lexus, which was fine with me as well.
+1. Lexuses are ubiquitous.

Even so, prefer it to riding Metro and having to be around smelly people and inane, chatty types who don't know how to leave work at the office.
"I prefer it to riding Metro."
OMG. That's an absurd analogy.
It's not an analogy. It's a comparison of two modes of transportation.
So what if you had a '97 Camry that needed its shock absorbers replaced? Would you "prefer it to riding Metro"?
It would be a closer call. Thanks for asking.

I think that making a blanket statement about any group is not right. Like a PP said, alot of drivers are terrible but you may only notice cars sometimes when it is a nice car.

At least the BMW and Audi drivers are trying to drive their cars the way they were designed. The way Mercedes drivers drive, you wonder why they bothered - they could drive a Camry just as slowly and rudely. Except for the label that says, "Hey, I paid a lot of money for this!"

Prius seems to be the car for the guy who is 40 years old and never owned a car before.
