The BMW X3 is one of BMW's best-selling models alongside the 3-series sedan, and for good reason. It offers the same handling that BMW's cars are world-renowned for, but with an added touch of practicality. Arguably, compared to the Mercedes-Benz GLK and GLC, its simplistic design is more in-line with European cars truly designed for the European market rather than car-crazy America. And I say this as a HUGE Mercedes fan. Unfortunately, the new X3 is a little over-the-top, and standard RWD shouldn't be a thing in a luxury SUV, but who can complain when the X3 is still constantly ranked towards the top for small luxury SUVs, above its rivals such as the Porsche Macan, Alfa Romeo Stelvio, Lexus NX, Volvo XC60 and Land Rover Range Rover Velar.

Get the BMW X3 mug.Toyota's biggest SUV, based on the Tundra and now in its third generation. Mostly a US market model, though the Middle East did get it for a hot minute. This thing is an inferior Land Cruiser. Still reliable and still a solid option, but my God if it doesn't look like the unholy love child between a Tundra, a 4Runner, and a Land Cruiser. Need the space? Get a Sienna instead. Need the off-road chops? Land Cruiser is where to go. Still a better option than any of the domestics, and since they depreciate quicker than the LC, they are actually accessible to mere mortals.
The Toyota Sequoia is the Land Cruiser's chain-smoking, pitbull-owning, country music-blasting redneck cousin.

Get the Toyota Sequoia mug.A new type of social media where at random, you're given two minutes each day to capture a BeReal and 'live in the moment.' No filters and stuff like followers doesn't matter. Most people's BeReals are of them doing boring everyday shit, which is kinda the point of the app.

Get the BeReal mug.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.

Get the Lexus RX mug.The Mercedes-Benz S-Class is iconic. It is the blueprint for all other luxury sedans, a technological tour de force, and has been the undisputed queen of the segment since it was officially introduced in the 1970s. What do Prince William, Jay-Z, Beyoncé, and Kim Jong-Un have in common? They've all been chauffeured around in the S-class at some point. S-classes can be found on nearly every street corner in cities like New York, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Paris, and they make up a good portion of the $100K+ market in the US along with other status-mobiles like the Land Rover Range Rover and Tesla Model S (ew.)
Everyone from businessmen to heads of state wants an S-class. Even with Rolls-Royce, Maserati, Bentley and Porsche making far more expensive sedans, the S is still taken seriously and wouldn't look out of place parked in front of a royal palace. Quite simply one of, if not the best cars ever made. Every car wishes it could be an S-class when it grows up.

I want nothing more than to listen to some Frank Sinatra in the back of a Mercedes-Benz S-Class in NYC right now.
When I landed in Paris, I was picked up in a Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Take that, peasant.
Diana has both a Range Rover and an S-Class. I love her.

Get the Mercedes-Benz S-Class mug.The Audi Allroad can best be described as a Subaru Outback that went to Choate. It, like the Volvo Cross Country and Mercedes E-Class Wagon, has long been a favorite of the country's wealthiest families, and can frequently be spotted with a bunch of college bumper stickers and lax sticks strewn throughout the trunk. If the Volvo Cross Country is more New Haven and the E-Class Wagon is more Georgetown, the Audi Allroad is more Ann Arbor; still sophisticated, with that subtly-intelligent college-town prep vibe, but maybe not as quintessential as say, New Haven or Georgetown. Unfortunately, after the dumpster fire that was the first Allroad back in the early aughts, Audi's Stealth Wealth Wagon became associated with questionable reliability, but shhh, no one needs to remember that. The Allroad is far more sophisticated than a normal Audi sedan. A4s and A6s are everywhere, but Allroads are a rare, rare breed.

Get the Audi Allroad mug.Sweden's take on the automobile. Known primarily for their box-like station wagons, though in recent years the brand has moved further upmarket with models such as the XC90 SUV and S90 sedan. Volvo still makes station wagons, though, and they are very good-looking cars. Not exactly known for high performance, but the Polestar-tuned cars and the R-models were decently quick. One of the stealth wealth crowd's favorite brands.
