Had a few so called car experts over for a BBQ card night last night and the subject came up about what is the most pretentious vehicle on the Australian market. The consensus was the Lexus RX range both the RX 350 and RX 450h second was BMW 1 series as its the BMW one buys when one cant afford a BM
Can any one add to the list as the conversation continues next week

Wouldn't the list be full of cars that look good, but are really shit underneath?
Surely no-one does that better than Alpha Romeo?

That new aston martin thing, it's basically a Toyota thing with an Aston badge on it.

Wouldn't have said that about the 1 series... It's a damn good car & even in the 120i with a good overall options spec if still the best part of 55k drive away, so it's not like it's any more affordable then a Liberty GT etc.
I'd go for Merc A Class as it doesn't even look like a Merc nor is a built like one.

lexus 4wd's in general.. especially the ones that are just a rebadged toyota landcrusiers massive wank factor about the fact they have paid an extra 10g for something that just has a different badge on it pretty much. and besides.. the people that buy them id say 99.9% dont evrer use them as 4wds

In such a case, Cayanne, even though Top Gear said it was one of the best off roaders they had ever driven, how many people would actually take it off road? Are they just buying it to show off?
