To expand on that, there was a study done a couple years ago that actually found that people who drove luxury vehicles in general tended to drive with a more "entitled" mindset (read: like assholes). Gender, race, age, didn't matter. So its not to much a stereotype as a half-truth.

My BMW is driven and treated just like my other cars. Hell it's worth less than my Toyotas and my truck.

Hence why I said "half-truth"--not everyone is that bad. But there is proof that its not just anecdotal evidence driving that viewpoint.

Scion is a brand for hipsters and posers

Prius owners all immediately move to the fast or carpool lane and drive 5 to 10 miles per hour under the posted speed limit. They also like to pace drivers next to them without cause or concern and NEVER check their surroundings in any scenario.

I disagree...

I drove a buddy's 1982 7-series once and no one had the decency to get out of my way! Idiots...!

I think it's really because those "image" focused and/or entitled people feel that they "deserve" something "better" so they buy a luxury brand to make others know of their "status".


So basically, the problem is the people, not the brand.

My comment is both about the vehicle and the people who buy them.
There is one or two models of trucks being sold in Australia that seem to come standard with low profile tyres or maybe it is just the owners putting these low profile tyres on after purchasing the vehicle.. They look really low profile to me. I can't get my head around this. It isn't even trying to look functional. I think the vehicles are 4wd but you would run the risk of denting your rim if you were to drive over a 10 cent piece.

I'm guessing yours doesn't fall into the luxury category anymore...

It's more luxurious than anything else I've owned
