Well if it is the Mercedes c63 AMG. It has about 450 hp. That is lot of ponies. My guess that you would be driving that car. Powerful car. You probably like to drive. this is not a status car but a performance car, although mercedes is a status car. I would say the person that owns this car is not really making a statement about status. I would put this in the area of...I really like to drive.
Yukon probably your wife's car. If you saw both cars at a family reunion, it would imply that you guys are not worried about money. However, it is now 2011 and most people who get these kinds of cars don't keep them as long as you have. May have hit a bump in the road or you are being cautious.
One of you is probably a doctor. Not a dentist, but a real doctor.
That's pretty good! More correct than incorrect. If whatever you're doing for a living now doesn't work out, you should take this act on the road - or at least on YouTube. Good stuff man!
This thread is hilarious. I drive an 03 Pontiac Vibe that has been paid off for years. My statement is that I need a car to get me to and from work every day and I will never buy another one until this one breaks down.
I'm driving my first ever vehicle; a 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.7L 4x4 that I PAID for with my own money. I'm a 22 year old Registered Nurse working on a cardiovascular unit here in one of the local Wisconsin hospitals.
I drive to get to work, to go to the store, and to anyplace else that I take it. I lug myself around 90% of the time. The other 10% usually goes to friends, my sister, or my dog.
I'm getting 19.4 mpg city and am proud of myself. I pay for my own insurance and gas.
The statement I made when I brought my car is:
it'll get me to and from work (and other places)
I can afford it
It gets good gas mileage
I like the features
All that other stuff is for people who have too much time on their hands

I am sure that some people will say that I am not trying to make a statement...I bought for XY&Z reasons. Well here is my opinion.
Truck - A person that does not use a truck for business purposes is trying to say...that she is a redneck and proud of it. Message received.
Luxury Foreign CAr , BMW 7 series etc. - They want everyone to know that they have money, whether they actually have money or not.
Prius - the main statement is I am not a Redneck. They could also be saying I am environmentally conscious. They are not saying that I am practical, because despite the savings in gas you still have to pay more for the car than you save in gas.
Subaru Outback - You are saying I am liberal, but I like to get out there are have fun, whether you actually do or not.
Honda Accord - You are saying, that I don't care about status. I am more practical.
Suburban or Mega SUV - You are telling me people that you are an idiot. It does not matter if it will fit in a parking space and only gets 8 miles to the gallon. Usually driven by women who have Penis envy.
Mustang - Corvette - Modern day muscle car - What you are trying to tell people is that you are manly or a bad ass woman. What people actually receive is that you are probably compensating for having a small wanker or the fact that you are 5'2.
Thoughts.
What statement are you trying to make by the Car that you drive?
I buy cars that I want...the ONLY opinion of my car that I care about is MINE......if a person wants to make a statement by what kind of car they drive they need to seek counseling for being weak, insecure, shallow, immature and stupid.
I'm not trying to make any statement. I never have when it comes to cars. A car is a way to get from point A to B.
I drive a 2002 Honda Accord and it still runs ok and that works for me.
I thought I'd have a garage load of cars at this point in my life. I have a '85 Chevy with about 170,000 miles that still runs strong....and still looks good to be 27 years old. Burns lots of gas...so hope and pray the oil prices keep dropping. My Dad was a car dealer...and he told me exactly what you said above. Looks and cosmetics of a car doesn't matter (unless you let it) ...if it will get you from point A to Point B ....same as a Mercedes.....that costs $50,000 more. You could pack a 40 acre field with 300 cars like mine...for 50 G's.
