We just arrived in London today and I am amazed by how much Londoners love their cars. I believe cars and vehicles cost ~50% more than in the USA. I'll take pics to update the post.

Agreed....we just got back yesterday from a week there and saw many 911's and other nice cars. Here's a pick of one at the famous Abbey Road crossing.

No wonder there car shows like Top Gear and magazines like Evo.

BMW and Mercedes seem standard issue. I've seen many Porsches but few Audis.

Many of them are foreigners who make London one of their many homes.

Also "their cars" .....

Most of the RR and Bentley's have Middle East or Russian Tags.... not many Ferrari/Lambo cause the roads suck so bad but same origin. Lots of oil money that wants to live their life away from war torn geographies in London.

Lots (and lots) of money in London, a global finance center.

Can only provide one data point: I live in London and love my cars.

Currently visiting San Diego and driving a rented Cadillac. It's extraordinary - sort of like piloting a large boat. I keep wanting the steering wheel to have little wooden bits sticking off it, and one has to plan to stop a considerable time in advance. Lovely and quiet on the freeway though...

Here cars, there cars, it's all good.

So is NYC. But I don't see such a high concentration of luxury cars. Even in the affluent areas. Different strokes for different folks.

I don't care if I live in London, Delaware or the middle of nowhere. I love sports and sporty cars. Something that is deeply ingrained in my head

^^^ ok so west bound done that journey, in bound far too many times, recognised the dealership which is on the northern side of the road

Fantastic city in the summer - the Museums are superb, Westminister Abbey is a must do and for something different try the the Churchill War Rooms near Downing St.
