You don't want them to think you're rich?? Christ, if you can get them to think that you're already 3/4 of the way there....
I'm not going to lie, I like the implications of owning a Mercedes (be they real or fictional is beside the point), and the more outrageous and expensive your car the better. I'm not a rich snob and I don't really care myself, but I don't fool myself about human nature, everyone else--especially women--does care.
Studies have proven that first impressions shape most of a person's future opinion of you, and first impressions are based on coarse, animalistic assessments, such as perceived wealth, hence the desire to own a Mercedes. Sad but true.
