No American cars are status symbols. If I wanted a status symbol car car I would buy a foreign car

Some would consider Vettes a status car.
Cadillacs have kindof fallen into disrepute.

Well perhaps Vettes and Hummers. Caddys need to hire a PR firm to make them cool for people other than old people.

Who would buy a car as a status symbol anyway?
Buy them for function.

I'm aware some people do. Typically Type A's in Audi's.
But 90% of us buy them for function, with a bit of look thrown in. Who wants a Saab befouling the driveway?

I've never bought for 'status'.
I've bought for a precision or just enjoyable driving experience.
Sometimes that meant an RX-7. Sometimes a Mercedes. Sometimes a 90's Thunderbird.
However, whenever I've had the 'nicer' cars everyone *assumes* it is for status. it isn't. But for virtually everyone it is INTERPRETED as status, and they assign status to you based on the car you roll up in. You can deny that all you want, but my experience says otherwise.
