It's interesting that one tends to see a vastly larger number of luxury and performance vehicles on the streets in the US than in Europe. You can't swing a dead cat in traffic without hitting a half dozen BMWs, Mercedes and Porsches, and I see an Aston Martin, a Lotus and a Maserati (as poor a blend of luxury and performance as they may be ) on most of my commutes.
