With BMW it a little different, Its a great car/truck but I still think most people buy it for its status.
I use my car for business and the Chevy Blazer would just not give the same image.
I just don't think most people are honest with them selves.
That said I don’t think I will ever buy a Rolex.

I'm a Realtor here in LA and image is very important. I bought my X5 because I wanted a SUV(or SAV for X5 purists
) that I could write off, drove like a car and gave the image of success. I've lost count as to how many times clients and friends have mentioned, "nice car, you must be doing well" or "business must be good". If I rolled up in a Blazer SS or even a Cherokee SRT, I might get "nice car", but that's it. Maybe it's different in other parts of the country or world, where those 2 cars are status symbols because they're not a Kia or Hyundai(no offense), but we spend the money to portray a certain image. If image wasn't important in my business, I would probably consider the SS or SRT. After all, it gets you from point A to point B pretty fast and you would have $20-30k extra in your pocket. That being said, if anyone wants to buy or sell in the LA area, please let me know; I would be more than happy to help you
