I was just thinking that a car showing you have “arrived” would be a measure of wealth and status by means of a car. Not to say that the list does not include nice cars because it does, it’s just that there are others that I would think demonstrate this better than the 300. What about the 5 series, 7 series, M series, mid to upper MB, and other similar. These should sure bump some off the list (i.e. Dodge, 300, Cad).
