Mercedes-Benz E-Class 

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.
Since Andrew's wife divorced him, he bought himself a Mercedes-Benz E-Class.

Lexus RX 

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.
I went to take a practice SAT in San Jose and all the cars in the parking lot were Lexus RXs.

Mercedes-Benz S-Class

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.
