Using the kind of car a person drive to gauge his income level & wealth is a big NO. Many senior people in civil service and even stat boards are not inclined to own big flashy European cars for good reason. Many earn $200k to $300k pa or more if they are directors or CEO level. So if a CEO only drives a Teana or Camry, you think their staff will go and drive a BMW or big Merz? Very few would do that, and it would not be because they cannot afford it.

I am not saying many people are rich, but it is important to recognize there are. All it takes is for a few of them to post here. $100k pa for up and coming young (early 30s to mid 30s) executives are indeed the norm. By their 40s they could be smelling $200k. Some of these people will still be staying in HDB and driving their faithful and reliable toyota, Nissan or Honda.
