I see more loaded up 1/2 and 3/4 ton pickups in the Colorado mountains. Cost just as much (often more) as the import luxury sedans and are more useful for hauling people, RVs, quads, bikes, etc.

But for luxury cars, I see Audi and Infiniti the most here. They have great AWD sedans for $30-40k. I swear 2/10 cars around Colorado Springs are Subarus though.

Nice cars are everywhere out here. I saw a number of each of those early this morning, in addition to three Ferraris, three Bentleys, and one Lamborghini. Kind of a typical Sunday morning except the three Bentleys. Usually I'll see one. I didn't see a Maybach or a Rolls Royce, but I was only out for a short time.

The winner of "most common" is the Infiniti G35. I see very few Acuras except for the MDX.

We see them all.
I think Lexus is slightly more represented, though I can't really be sure.

I know that Escalades are super popular.

I see more BMW's than anything around here. Then again this is where their test facility is for the west coast. They also come off the boat here as well. Just about all of the cars on the list are common around here. When your average working stiff drives a car off the list should it be considered a luxury item anymore? For many it seems that owning one of the cars is part of life. Then again I would assume that for many they don't mind making $700 car payments. We have a receptionist at one of our clinics that works for one purpose, to make her Escalade payment and pay for her child care. To me that is just crazy. She isn't the only one that lives like that. I know others that buy a used late model car just to have one. My wife had a Mercedes for a while. We ended up selling it to pay down some debt, and besides that she wants a Honda Pilot anyway. Everyone has lusury cars around here.

Here is the brands at our cities auto mall:

Oxnard Auto Center - Everybody Knows 101 to Rose

And the brands in Ventura just next to Oxnard

Ventura Auto Center | Ventura Car Dealers

Driving to the east side of the county about a half hour from where I live I can find just about any brand on the market.

I can't pick just one. This area is sooooooo saturated with all those barnds. Around here it's not even close to uncommon to spot an audi R8 or a masserati or Bentley or lambo or ferrari or.....well, you get the idea... it's far LESS common to see an OBS chevy truck or really any truck for that matter.

Least common in that list is probably acura or lincoln...if you call those luxury to begin with.

Where the heck do you live?!

I live in a fairly nice part of Phoenix and pickup trucks are far more common than any high-dollar exotics or exclusive luxury marques.

Agreed with the Acura and Lincoln comment though, two brands that are seeking a brand identity. Cadillac figured it out, I'm hoping Lincoln does as well.
