The big Mercedes SUV designed for the American market, the GL/GLS is one of the most popular cars among rich white moms. These gargantuan Benzes are even larger than Range Rovers and match the mammoth proportions of a Cadillac Escalade. Like the Lexus RX, Range Rover, Mercedes-Benz E-Class and Audi A4, these things are everywhere in predominantly white wealthy suburbs, shuttling kids to lacrosse and lugging around Nordstrom bags and Restoration Hardware furniture in the trunk.
The Mercedes-Benz GL/S is Daimler's Range Rover.

A conniving, lying, narcissistic, hypocritical, vengeful man child with severe mommy issues. Prince Harry is the definition of white male privilege yet he bitches and moans about nearly everything under the sun. He is known to twist the truth to fit his agenda and like his wife Meghan Markle, is a master manipulator. Despite his current claims to be an activist, Harry has a history of using racial slurs, abusing animals, and who could forget the time he wore a Nazi uniform? See also; hypocrite, narcissist, bully, man-child, Oedipus Complex, liar, creepy, controlling, abusive, manipulative, and FUCKING GRIFTER.

One of the most Stealth Wealth, east coast prep, WASP-y cars out there. Even though E-Class sedans are practically the upper-middle-class Camry, E-Class Wagons, along with subtly-specced Range Rovers, "tastefully-worn-out" graduation-present BMWs and unmodified USDM Toyota Land Cruisers are automotive indicators of some serious wealth and possibly intelligence. They, like the other Euro wagons, are unsurprisingly popular in college towns. Are they just taxis that drunk blondes and Instagram DJs trash back in Deutschland? Ja. Do American buyers give a fuck about the E-Wag's humble roots? Nein. Most E-Class Wagon buyers find the rest of the Mercedes lineup to be gauche and tacky, but remain loyal to the longroof. They also typically have the highest income of any Mercedes owner, so suck it, G63/S560/SL550/AMG GT. Plus, it's available as an E63, meaning you can drop off the kids at school one second and make Hellcats and Nissan Altimas fear for their lives the next.
The E-Class Wagon is a classic Hamptons workhorse. You could also replace Hamptons with Palm Beach, Petoskey, North Shore, Greenwich, Marin or any other affluent WASP area.

The official car of Bay Area (especially) Tiger Moms since 1998. Lexus RXs can be seen shuttling little Asian kids to basketball practice, violin lessons, or SAT prep sessions from San Francisco to Silicon Valley. Yes, a lot of people say the RX is a white mom's car, and go to Marin County and you'll see why, but the RX, especially in California, is the Asian mom's car of choice. Bonus points if there are seat covers/plush headrests.

The DEFINITION of 4x4, and the automotive equivalent of a chameleon. In the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and much of Africa - show up in one of these, and everyone will know you're rich, potentially royalty and potentially bought it using blood money. In Europe? Nonexistent, unless you count the Prado. In the US? Either stealth wealth WASPs or overlanding bros who treat it like an expensive 4Runner. In Japan? A more niche product, and the canvas for some Midnight Club-level builds. In Australia? The undisputed King of the Outback, mate. Available as either a "station wagon" currently in the 300-series, or a no-nonsense 4x4/pickup in the form of the 70-series. One of Japan's most iconic vehicular exports and quite possibly one of the most reliable vehicles on planet earth. This thing will take you anywhere and will not leave you stranded. Many SUVs come close - the Nissan Patrol, Land Rover Range Rover, and Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen are all fantastic SUVs, but the Land Cruiser is in a league of its own. There's a reason why everyone from the UN to ISIS uses these bad boys. You can get one in complete barebones GX spec or fully loaded Sahara spec - making it the Japanese equivalent to an F-series or RAM truck (although much more reliable.) A strong contender for the most badass vehicle on earth.

The White Mercedes is another SoCal staple; often times a sedan or SUV, but bonus points if it's a convertible, which is hot as fuck. A white Mercedes sedan with chrome wheels is essentially the Camry of Orange County, and if you had a dollar for every white Mercedes you spotted in or around LA in a day, you could probably buy one of your own in a couple hours. In the 2000s, the white Mercedes of choice for Newport Beach doctors, young celebs in Beverly Hills and "coastal grandmothers" in Malibu was the CLK convertible, which was super fetch while it was still in production. Now it's the G550 or G63, with the S-Class sedan and the E-Class family also being commonplace. Like with the White Range Rover, the White Mercedes is likely to be found sandwiched between an Escalade and a White Lexus at South Coast Plaza, parked in front of a plastic surgeon's office, in the driveway of a hideous McMansion, or in the drive-thru line at Starbucks. A White Mercedes is the ultimate LA status symbol.

The rich person's Camry. One of Mercedes' most popular models in the US, the E-class is one of the best selling European cars on the market. Everyone from doctors to lawyers has one, and it isn't uncommon to see at least fifteen or twenty in the parking lot of an upscale mall or restaurant. More often than not, they're leased by men having a midlife crisis, and accompany a Lexus RX in the garage. Bonus points if said E-class is parked in the middle of a mall around November/December with a big red bow on the roof.
