I love my Prius, but I'll admit to a longtime yearning for a Mercedes. Many years ago I got to drive one that belonged to someone I worked for, and it was wonderful! Definatly NOT in my budget, however!
You'll get your MB one day....they are absolutely worth it!

Aluminum, Narrow Angle 8 Liter W16 Engine with 1200 hp, base price is $1,700,000. Tested again on July 10, 2010 with the new 2010 Super Sport Version: the Bugatti Veyron once again claims the title of the fastest car in the world at 267 mph."
Try the 2011 Hennessy Venom GT
Think Corvette ZR1 engine with twin turbos crammed into a Lotus Elise($725,000 to $950,000 - 1200HP - top speed 275 - 0to60 in 2.5sec - 0to200 in 15.9sec)
But the Venom and the Veyron are hardly mainstream production vehicles like the CTS-V.

I'm a little afraid of what you all will come up with, but what do people think the cars in my garage say about my wife and I? I won't tell you who drives what and don't hold back, I won't cry - or I'll try not to.
I drive a 2007 Suburban (3 kids and a 6'3" husband who wants head and leg room), husband has non-family friendly vehicle.
As far as parking goes....I always park far away from the "crowd". Only because there are too many people who drive any type/size of a car and just can't park b/c they don't give a crap. Also - I don't want my kids opening a door and slamming it into someone else's car. Especially on a windy day.

2008 Mercedes C63
2007 GMC Yukon Denali
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.
C'mon, hotair...you still haven't told me what I do for work or what my race/age is or how I like my bacon.
