Which brand creates the nicest cars that also have the least amount of snob appeal? Think of them as nice cars that aren't recognized as nice cars, sort of like sleeper snobs.
Nicest? You fanboys are going a little far with this....
VW, some of the expensive trim Subarus, Lexus, acura Lincoln, Buick, and most of caddillac. They don't tend to have the snobbery of BMW, Mrcedes, Audi.
If you really get to it, some of the top of the line versions of most the manufacturers, can be considered thenicest, but still have the no snobbery feel. For some reason the F150 "kingranch" comes to mind.

Remember that in most of the world outside the US Land Rover are seen as a maker of utility 4x4s firstly and Range Rovers secondly. Many European Range Rovers are still used off-road.

Thank you for proving my point
VW owners has some of the most stuck up people driving them. Lexus/Acura/Honda the same thing. The reason you don't see any snobs driving Buicks and Caddys is because they are usually of an older generation.
If this board is any indication, these are the #1 brands for the Nu-snob.
All the luxury type brands have a snob appeal in one way or another, so we can strike those out.
Looking at the ''lowliest of the low'' brands (Chevy & Dodge, not part of the poll), there are a lot of flops but certain models are actually nice. The exiting Malibu LTZ with all the options, Cadillac engine & baseball glove seats... and that goes for the Saturn Aura as well. You could almost call those the poor man's German cars.
'11+ Dodge Durangos & Jeep Grand Cherokees are nice no matter the trim.
Agree with the Ford F-150 King Ranch trucks. Same goes for the Harley Davidson trim.

Ok I wish to add the 1989 pontiac grand am as the nicest car on the road that is low key, but it has to be real, with plastic cladding.
Actually the last couple pontiacs were getting kind of nice.
Voted for Infiniti. Virtually all european cars have snobby customers, so I went with Japanese luxury and Infiniti in my opinion has less snobs then Lexus. Infinities look better then Cadillacs btw.
And the winner of your question isn't even on the list.
Volkswagen.
Basically the same interiors as an Audi. Hard to have a "snob" appearance when you're driving a VW which is essentially saying "I want to drive a German car but I couldn't afford an Audi or BMW".

Stuck up VW and HONDA owners? You are really stretching it here man. Hard to have a snob appearance driving a "low tier" brand. There's so many of them on the road that you can't really label their owners.
I agree that many VW owners have an inflated perception of their cars. I've known a few that have considered them the superior alternative to the Corolla/Civic (Jetta) and the Camry/Accord (Passat). When I was younger and went to local car meets the Golf/Jetta guys would swear up and down that their cars were infinitely better than the competition.
I voted Hyundai because there are few cars that say to the world that you want to drive in comfort/luxury yet could care less about the badge than the Genesis Sedan and particularly the Equus. The Equus doesn't exactly cost small bucks at least until you consider what you're getting in return (just saw a used 2011 with 25k miles selling for $41k).
