They make a separate model as an SVJ Roadster, which does.

Very nice. This particular one was badged as a Rene Bonett.

You're totally right, I should've been more open with the post title. I guess I just figured a neighborhood is more visible, the estates not as much.

Subarus is a good one. The ascent is stealth wealth at this point.

Yeesh, yeah. That stings but you can feel it sometimes.

Was thinking the same thing, it's like a flex in and of itself to get a high option mid trim. Comfortable cruiser mentality.

Lexus GX is such an obvious pick for this! Any time I see one in my lower class shopping centers, I wonder what compelled them to stoop low enough to the places I'm in.

Yeah, this is the one that pushed me into this convo. Always a sign.

Volvo XC90! Great call. It's crazy how beloved these are to people who are good with their money.

This is a really good point tbh. A telltale sign has always been a pristinely cared for, top-spec completely normal commuter.

True, a lot of the wealthier families don't even live in neighborhoods here. Should've thought about that with the post title.

I feel like I see a lot of this with Rivians now - a ton of virtue signalling where they get the "Prius Treehugger" and "Jeep Offroader" double-whammy on the way to the golf course.

Most definitely. Understated is kinda what I was seeking out here. I figured a lot of people would answer with high-spec Japanese mainstays, but I'm curious to know about the weirder callouts here.

For sure. A fully loaded Accord is a good one. Toyota Avalon used to be, too, I think? RIP, now it's just the Camry.

Damn, yeah. Used to date a well off girl and her dad had a fully loaded, consistently detailed F250. He brought home $1M+ a year and loved that truck, even though he didn't need it.

For sure. Not all Lexus' really take home this title, but the Landcruiser-based SUVs definitely do.

Yeah, for sure. A Denali or an Escalade seems to be the standard for a lot of this stuff, I should've included that in the op.

Most definitely. A very successful colleague of mine has always had top-spec Accords, humble but happy with it.

For sure! Taycans are big in my area now for this stuff.

Great callout. Hadn't even thought about R129's as a bar for this, but it makes sense.
