I'll add that, based on assorted anecdotal info, as income goes above 200k the vehicle-of-choice tends to devolve into what could best be described as "beater class." I've posted before about a coffee klatch at a local greasy spoon where the collective net worth of the table occupants would exceed $1B. Outside, the collective value of their vehicles (all pick-ups, btw) would be a stretch at $150k.

Smart money knows that depreciating assets like fancy vehicles aren't a productive place to allocate resources.
These men understand that you have a better chance to actually
become
rich if you stop worrying about whether you
look
rich.
Added: we own a Ford F-150 and have owned several over the years. Way back when we even went on our honeymoon in a borrowed F-150!

The wealthy around here do tend to keep an Escalade for Sundays.

Hasn't the F150 been the highest selling car of all time in the US?
If so, isn't it likely that it would naturally have high percentage of people earning well, as well as those who earn less too?

In the Bay Area & Silicon Valley most of the well-to-do are driving Tesla Model Ss these days.

The F150 has earned it. Farmers often drive F150's because you can put hard miles on them -- like towing a 5-ton combine header -- and they still last 300,000+ miles.
