This is the sort of attitude that will suck money right out of you. I recommend a Dave Ramsey course.

You should probably spend the money on a penis augmentation.
All, the serious contributions are much appreciated. I also lol'd at some of the posts!!
I dunno, what does Sponge Bob drive?
Have you ever noticed how really rich people drive non-descript cars? Probably the ones who worked the hardest for each cent and don't want to waste it on dumb stuff.
My cardiologist drives a beat up Volvo. From my perspective, there is nothing cooler than someone of means who doesn't feel the need to flaunt it superficially. I see his wealth in the amount of money he donates to good causes in town.
If you desperately desire superficial acknowledgment, then you haven't legitimately arrived anywhere.

OP didn't ask how to be classy.
It doesn't matter as long as you put your 26.2 sticker on it.

Also, you need a ho like Ice-T's Coco in the passenger seat and make her head bob.

The first question is: Have you actually "arrived?" Or do you simply want people to know that? Are you comfortable spending $75k on a car? And if you are, is that a smart move for you?
Some people have done a great job guiding people's perceptions into greater success. Hugh Heffner is a great example -- he broadcasted swanky parties and drove a luxury car when he had no money, thinking (correctly) he needed to represent his magazine's brand himself. But for most of us, leveraging our credit and last dollar into possessions makes little financial sense. The wealthiest friend I have drives a GTI. Not a fancy ride and has a few hundred K in the bank. I respect him for that. Another friend makes $70k but has a big house and two $50k cars -- statistics say he'll regret living like that.
That said, assuming you're male and 28-40, my vote goes Maserati Ghibli to impress women, friends and colleagues. Not the smartest purchase in that $75k range but probably the biggest head turner. If you're ready to spend more, you go Porsche and then you go Ferrari.
You need better friends. A couple hundred k in the bank is a rounding error to a semi rich person. When your a multimillionaire you gain and lose 100k in a month just based on stock market movements..
As far as saying you have arrived, nothing under 75k is going to do that. There are 5 series, e classes, and 911s every 3rd car on 101. I am guessing somewhere around 150k is when people actually notice your car unless it is some brand new model (Telsa a couple years ago. At this point they are much too common to turn anyones head).
What kind of car says you have arrived professionally?
Chauffeured by someone employed as part of your personal staff.
Arguably, the most expensive and luxurious chauffeur driven car to ever be created is the Maybach 62.
Founded in by father and son, Wilhelm and Karl Maybach built their first prototype in 1919. During the next 2 decades Maybach produced the most opulent and desired vehicles of the time and in 1997 the prototype Maybach was presented at the Motorshow and caught the attention of the world.
Our silver Maybach 62 cost a staggering £315,000, which is more than the average price of a house. It's like a luxury first class lounge on wheels with a 5.5 litre, V12 engine and weighing in at almost 3 tonnes it can go from 0-60 in 5.5 seconds.
Both billionaires and celebrities such as Roman Abramovich , Theo Paphitis, Peter Jones, Simon Cowell and P Diddy own a Maybach.
As standard they come with fully reclining and massaging chairs, silver service champagne set with cooled cup holders and a full entertainment system with wireless headphones. So if you have a long business journey or simply wish to travel in refined luxury, the Maybach 62 is as good as it gets.
or a Rolls Phantom
Benz S600 Pullman
Bentley Continental Flying Spur
My coworker got an Audi S7 and I got a Mercedes CLS550. We often park near each other, and I get way more looks and compliments even though his car has slightly better specs.
I love my CLS. Best $85k I ever spent.
