People with class don’t buy a Hyundai.
The richest people I know do not drive luxury cars. I’m curious what you think they drive? It’s not a leased RR that’s for sure.
I think PP meant Hyundais are crap. Networth matters not.

What on earth have you been reading
A wild guess, but I would say they were reading the hilariously accurate but outdated Class by Paul Fussell.

Correct, but it’s an American car, or a Toyota. Never a Hyundai.
lol, some of you are so clueless. Do you delude yourselves into thinking this so you feel proud of driving your Ford Fusion?

Down at the heel shoes with brand-new socks.

Are on the walls. It doesn't have to be originals, but not some random Thomas Kinkade or similar that you picked up at Home Goods. Professional family portraits/self portraits on the walls vs the LifeTouch school photos and family vacay pics.
If there's a dog, it's well behaved. Never jumps on guests and obeys commands to sit and lay.
Big loss of points if there's a TV in the living room. TVs are for the family room, not formal living room.
Shelves and surfaces aren't cluttered with random knickknacks from travels.
If a piano is present, it's in tune. Nothing more telling than a guest setting down to play something and it being out of tune.
That's a provincial, suburban mindset right there. A lot of us live in cities here... there's only a living room. And the tv is in it. Oops!
Yes. Not to mention PP’s weird country phrasing of “setting down to play” piano.
+1
Also, having family portraits of any kind displayed in public spaces is gauche.

Wow!

Not so sure about the family portraits. Even William and Kate have family pics in their sitting room.

Stacking of coins, rotten flowers, lots of beige knick-knacks, bowls filled with water or dry rice are signs of high class.
