I think this is spot on...
Those luxury station wagons = "we're caking enough to afford a luxury ride, but we're getting one that is more practical to our needs as a growing family"...
...
Spot on.
What kind of cars say "I am well off, but I don't like to brag about it"?

i favor exhaust tones that are deep, so the dbs, sls. . . . . gt500 lol, are examples of excellent exhaust tones IMO
i love performance cars in general tho, so i appreciate most of em

recently saw a CLA for the first time. exterior its not as bad as i thought in person. that interior might be a diff story. either way, $30k for what..200 hp? i mean yea you don't need a lot of hp in everyday driving, but then again, what are you really getting for 30k? is that money really just for the name? like paying 3k for a mac pro desktop...30k is STi money...no luxury really, but you are getting a strong 300hp reliable engine that costs less to maintain.

Maybe they just like the car, bruh... Or the luxury aspect..
Maybe they've had a good history with Mercedes...
Maybe they've had bad history with other whips...
Maybe they just got paper like that and copping it for a daily driver, or for their kids...
Not everyone cares about the same things when it comes to copping a whip..

I hate to break it to you bruh, but STis are ugly to the rest of the world.
To the average Just-get-in-my-car-to-get-to-where-I'm-going Joe, paying 30 grand for a overpowered Japanese econobox is just as crazy.
Its not badge flossing, its called personal values. If you dont drive fast, what you need power for? Might as well ride in luxury.

A compromise in comparison to what? An S Class?
That interior is still more posh than most Japanese cars.

This might be the case in the hood but you'll get laughed at showing up to the country club in a modern day muscle car, or non luxury performance SUV.
For wealthy, suburban families, who's idea of utility is based more on getting the whole family safely from point A to point B (while keeping the kids comfortable and quiet), this is the car:
Luxury SUVs with 2 rows.

How can you say that???? Anything high performance is off rip bragging, have you ever heard a ctsv in the streets??? It sounds brolic as hell, and you KNOW you're pushin power when you drive one, the gas pedal is so ****** sensitive
All sport/hi performance trims shouldn't even be in consideration when answering ops question
