I don't disagree- but a status symbol, in my opinion, is almost flaunting money (or status). True, a Fisker Karma or a Tesla is a sign of money, but thinking about areas with crazy fuel prices compared to the US, seeing an Escalade or a Hummer may cost the same, or even less, but just to run it (fuel, tires, road taxes) costs so much.
