People don't get to be millionaires by chasing designer labels and being brand loyal.
 
At least self made ones don't. 2nd and 3rd generation get too much into those things.

2nd and 3rd generation never had to work for it.

Nope, if I am going to blow 60K+ on a barge, that's not how I am going to do it - just for the reason that I don't want to have to look at that thing in my garage.
 
I'd wager many of these cars aren't driven by the "millionaire" but are rather for the maid/butler/personal assistant/nanny/other hired help etc to use.

Oh, this is America. The vast majority of wealth is from hard work by the beholder. The WSJ told me so.

But you might get stuck driving a 5 year old Accent down to the botox clinic to pick up supplies for the princess

No, no... you almost guaranteed I'd get an Equus for my personal use. That's the job I want. From what you're saying, there's a lot of them out there. Beats driving a Sentra!

The article was about high end cardholders owning random Hyundais...but yes, I would take an Equus over a Sentra in a heartbeat, too
 
Regarding the Equus, I wonder if the suspension can be manually raised and lowered, I remember the one I saw seemed to be riding pretty high.
