They almost certainly must have the highest ratio of income to vehicle MSRP except for the Warren Buffets of the world.

Prius has become a status symbol, so this doesn't surprise me.

While I agree there are some very wealthy folks driving them, the Prius also looks like dandelions infesting a lawn, in many college parking lots.

A prius is a status symbol. What do you just think whatever the tv tells you to?

I don't know a single person how think about a prius other then how ugly it is


On the lincoln town car. I can't imagine you have spent much time in a rolls or jag. What passes as a luxury car in the us is a joke. I don't have a big luxury car at the moment but will get a xj at some point in the near future. It may be an oxymoron but I have got to drive a 2008 xjr and it was fun wheb ya wanted and stylish luxury whebyou were done playing. Great car.

They are in a totally different class, and thus cannot be compared. Sure, if I could afford a brand new Rolls Royce I would definitely buy one...dumbass

I'd drive a Veyron to a funeral, be damned what anyone thinks, same as my silk top hat or waist suppressing frock coat and ascot. But black would probably be a nice choice if so.

Probably no room for 2 turbos under the hood of the RX

The looks may be as popular as coy & vance duke, but that's the way most automakers are going. Seems to have started with BMW.

The looks outside aren't so bad to me anymore, but their interiors can't hold a candle to an Audi. MB has really gone...
