What is the ultimate yuppie scum vehicle?

[pcmodem]

Howdy,
After watching hoardes of yuppies in their SUVs and luxury sedans come and go during the last 5 years, began to wonder what would constitute the ultimate yuppie scum vehicle of the 1996-2001 era.

Cast your vote.

I nominate the BMW X5. Since it's a BMW, arguable the most chosen yuppie automobile line, and also an SUV, two birds with one stone. Expensive, gas guzzling, oversized and with questionable off road capability... to paraphrase BMW: "the ultimate poseur machine." Don't get me wrong, the BMW M3 is awesome.

I think a yuppie vehicle would be one that looked real nice and was expensive but had no real power... The X5's the most powerful SAV out there

 

[N8Magic]

I get cut off by more losers in BMW's than any other car. :| I nominate BMW in general. Oh, that and the Lexus SC430.

 

[vi edit]

Mercede's ML320.

 

[Fausto]

Gotta be the Hummer. A totally ridiculous vehicle for civilian use....and f*cking expensive to boot.

Fausto

I will have to say any Lamborghini..

Yes...there is the answer right there

 

[geekender]

The oscar meyer weiner car.....nice.....

 

[b0mbrman]

ah...and second place goes to Range Rovers

 

[burnedout]

1. Hummers
2. Large SUVs

Living in Texas, I nominate all 2WD Chevy Tahoes and Suburbans. I can't tell you how many I see taking up two parking spaces and blocking intersections every day.

Lamborghini? no. if you have enough money for that, you are not a yuppie.. you are a millionaire.. those cars are gorgeous mechanical works of art.. i certainly wouldn't judge someone as a yuppie driving one of those.. i'd respect them and their tastes in fine automobiles... i think any base model car with a high class name on it, like a Mercedes C-220 with hub caps, what a total POS.. no power, no anything.. yet people look all big and tough driving it.. the car totally sucks..
same with a 318 or 316 BMW.. for crap sakes it's the size of a Suzuki Swift.. they are lame.. the higher end models are actually very nice cars, (540i, M5, 750i)
but these base models are just jokes.. esp. the C220, that is an awful car.. i know people who have one.. it's really bad.. that's personally my yuppie class vehicle of choice (Mainly the C220 or similar model).. to NOT buy of course.

It isn't out yet but the Porsche is up there. Ugly too!!

 

[puffpio]

LOL! I also nominate the upcoming Porsche Cayenne.

Well, if we can have "yuppie scum", then what do we call these weenie wankers with their annoying bumpin' puddle jumpers? Guess I'd call them noizy scum. And what kind of vehicle do noizy scum drive? Noissan, Teenyota, Honduh...

If it ain't a great American luxo-barge with a gas guzzling V8, Ornery don't like it!

(BTW, those losers with the coffee can exhausts annoy me to no end too.)

 

[Ornery]

I'm just saying if you're going to lump yuppies in a group, I've got a bigger bone to pick with the noizy fvcks. I have seen (mostly heard) some bumpin' boneheads in small SUVs, but mostly Hondas and Toyotas. Hmmm, the small SUVs are usually Hondas and Toyotas anyway!

yuppie scum, doesn't sound very pc.

So if someone makes some nice $$, buys a nice car, they are scum? Sounds like sour grapes to me.

 

[UltraQuiet]

Saab's

You bet...but what else would I do? Work harder so I can afford the cars I complain about? Ha!

 

[Spamela]

any SUV costing more than $35k - bmw & lexus suv's, lincoln Navigator, landcruiser.

Whoa dude, care to back that statement up with some facts!?!?!? I have a hard time being convinced that the X5 is the most powerful SAV (I assume you mean SUV) out there when being compared to the likes of the Yukon, Suburban, and Expedition. Maybe most powerful in it's class, but overall in the SUV world... I don't think so.

My vote for the ultimate yuppie scum vehicle would be the Lexus RX300. It has no back seat room(at least for a person 6' or taller) and it cannot go off-road worth crap. The X5 is the second most yuppie scum of the suv's out there with the Acura (model number?) coming in a close third

 

[conjur]

Lexus LX470.

Well...toss in the Cadillac Escalade and the Lincoln Navigator.

Three completely useless vehicles whose only purpose on this planet is to increase profits for the automakers at the expense of both the environment and the drivers' vanity.

 

[RGN]

I would say any BMW, Mercedes, Lexus or any one of those fugly foreign SUV's.

 

[ShadowDJ]

I'd nominate SUVs in general. If just yuppie, I'd say the VW jetta. Cool car, but one owned by most of by brother-in-law's geekie yuppy friends with nicknames like "Duppy" and "Fru"
