    Default Low-key status vehicle flex?

    Reading the g-wagon thread there seems to be a lot of negative association with this particular model and the "status" of it so got me thinking, what vehicle says "I've got WAY more money than you but I'm not a douche about it"?

    I was going to say Tesla anything, but that doesn’t fit the not a douche requirement.

    Audi A8/S8? I think the understated look and makes it sort of stealth (aka not douche). I don't think many people know it is in the same class as an S Class or BMW 750. I guess the same thing could be said for the Lexus LS 500.

    IMO all the big luxury sedans (S-Class, A8, 7 series, Lexus LS, etc.) and also their higher performance variants.

    Most of the German wagons.

    I do think the RS/AMG/M cars are fairly understated and most people don't know they have 600+ HP, but it depends who's driving it haha. The high performance SUVs are in a similar category too IMO.

    Most Bentleys I've seen around are driven by 60+ year old guys who drive under the speed limit everywhere, so maybe them too?

    Bentley Continental.

    Whenever I've seen them around town they're never hooning or driving like douchebags.

    Don't know if this is consider low-key vehicle flex but every time I see someone driving a 'high performance' big SUV like GLS63 or GLE63 or X6M or Cayenne Turbo, I feel like they are saying they buy it just because they can (especially GLS63.. who needs a 7 seater, 600hp+ car ...)

    Not sure if this is considered a flex, but when people park their expensive cars outside overnight full time (e.g. the 2019+ Cayenne S or 2020 GLE450 I frequently see in Rosedale), it makes me wonder what nice cars they must be hiding in their garages.

    There is a house in my neighborhood that looks like a run-down shack, it has no garage, but it has a super shitty make-shift car port with a tarp for a roof covering a newer looking S-Class MB and CLS MB that are parked outside 24/7. I just assumed they were drug dealers haha.

    Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.

    They know how to spend their money? Didn't VW only sell a handful of these things because nobody in their right mind was prepared to drop $100k on a VW

    The vehicles I park inside are pure dogshit, and I try to be a good neighbor by keeping them out of sight.

    Can't you buy a Phaeton for like $15K nowadays? I'm not sure that's much of a flex haha.
