I must also say you don't have to be "wealthy" to drive a nice car. With leasing, any car is attainable. Actually, most people I see who have nice cars don't even own a home AND lease their car.
Do the math, a home is $1 million here, and a car is what, $30-$100k (financed). What do you think someone could afford more easily?

$250k a year in CT...is barely middle class.
We're getting bent over up in the NorthEast...milk is $5/gallon, gas is $5/gallon, and hurricanes keep hitting us...
