Please show the statistics that prove your statement to be anything resembling factual.

Obviously you are trolling, but i'll bite. "Really rich" people tend to drive anything and everything. Driving a high end vehicle doesn't always indicate much about a persons wealth, but rather their taste. A vast amount "rich" people prefer not to draw attention or are willing to sink that much in liability; instead they opt to drive rather "average" vehicles.

This simply isn't true based on my observations especially considering that higher end Audi's (A5/A6/A7/A8) are fairly expensive when you compare equipment/drivetrain offerings with competing makes. Mercedes hasn’t been an attractive make for me for quite some time among the German 3 as I much prefer Audi/BMW.

From what I see the people who drive Lexus seem to look more conservative and affluent than the people who drive BMW, Audis & Mercedes

[Coldjensens]

Because Mercedes are really expensive.

Because really rich people can afford the really expensive repairs.

I don't think that is reality either.

People by cars as close to what they want as possible. Some rich people care about cars and by higher end cars. Some rich people don't care about cars and don't buy higher end cars. Some average people care about cars and stretch a little to get what they want. Some average people don't care about cars and get something average.

Other than something like a Bugatti Veyron cars are not really a sign of wealth.
