Classless cars that say nothing about you? Is there any? Were there ever any?

I reckon the A4 and 3-series estates are modern classless cars. Pretty much all the car you ever need. Also still affordable on finance or just bought outright.

Smart enough to think you're not a pauper but not too flash that it gives the wrong impression if you do have a lot of money. So many about that they are anonymous to drive around in.

Plus a 15 year old aldi or bm look the same as a new ones. Fit a wanker plate to a recent one and people will think you're loaded.

I think that I'm out of step as I'm not bothered whether people think I'm loaded or not. The wealthy people I know tend to go around in 10 to 15 year old cars on their original plates, they're not bothered what people think.

Exactly. I knew an ex-BA Pilot who was absolutely minted and with at least 6 properties. His daily (amongst the hoards of cars he had) was a knacker old Nissan Prairie (about 15 years old) and he dressed like a right old scruff.

The ones with the solid-gold granny annexes never are flashy.

Although it may of had more to do the fact he was Scottish.

Some of the gold is probably going to be sold off to pay for flat deposits for the lads.

FTFY M8.

3 Series Touring and 5 Series (any) - but not M Sport. They're nice and just blend in.

Rolls Royce Wraith - fucking baller.

Any Bentley. just...no.

Anything Audi. No. Well, maybe a base model Avant, expensive registration and rarely washed for that country set look.

As ever, a £1500 banger with a 20 grand number plate gives the 'new money shouts, old money whispers' vibe. A mouldy 2006 Jazz with FRO1 just says it all.

You need a classless society for a classless car. 3.8 Buick Regal of 20 years ago. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/ ... _Regal.jpg
Would neither intimidate a Toyota driver or dissapoint a Cadillac driver.
Just as popular with granma as grandson.

In class-obsessed Britain? Every single thing, thought and act has it’s position in the class ladder so no chance of a "classless” car here. I have met more than one classwanker who genuinely thought he was a superior organism because his million-selling shitbox had a GL badge.

It probably explains why the "trim level" is such a British thing. You never had all this L, GL, GLS, Ghia nonsense on Yank stuff and the Yerpeans only seemed to bother with two levels - cloth or velour.

Honda Accord
Toyota Avensis
Mazda 6

All of which are just "An Car" that you wouldn't look twice at.

The 'Merkins obsess over the next year model instead of trim levels
