    In Switzerland, Audi is the rich arsehole car. Where I live, they tend to have Geneva plates

      I see rich arsehole cars daily. Audi, Lamborghin, Ferarri, Bentley, Rolls Royce, Porche, etc. But 9 times out of 10, when I roll my eyes about someone driving like a piece of shit, or annoyed by their obnoxious exhaust, it’s a BMW

        Ah I get what you mean. But by arsehole I mean speeding tailing and cutting people off.

        Here BMW is more the drug dealer car lol.

      That’s also the case here in the Netherlands though BMW is still up there as an asshole car. Surprisingly, I have a hunch that the next one to join this club is going to be Volvo around here, they’re €€€ and I keep seeing them behaving just like the BMWs/Audi’s.
