Yeah the days of Bugattis seem to have waned. I think supercar buyers are changing to SUVs and EVs.
you can still see the most expensive cars on Granville between downtown and Richmond. Out in Surrey, there are a lot of people with money showing it off. Langley has Porsche, Jaguar, Land Rover, Tesla, and Mercedes dealerships now.
I was behind a Bentley SUV on 152 in Surrey the other day. It had those black tassel things hanging off it which you see on East Indian's cars, at least it seems to be a thing in Surrey these days. I've seen a couple of Mercedes Maybachs around, once on Granville, it's like a $250,000+ car. But unless you know what it is it just looks like a Mercedes.
I see the occasional Lamborghini SUV. Ferrari has apparently been cracking down on who can buy their cars, they recently banned the
Kardashians and a number of celebrities like Bieber or limited their choices of models they are allowed to buy.
Koenigsegg is going to release a sedan model soon, could see some here.
Mercedes-Benz is going to focus on higher end models and cut out some of the entry level cars.
Quote:
After years in a grudge match against rival BMW AG to become the world’s biggest luxury automaker, Mercedes-Benz AG is calling it quits.
“We are not going to go in and compete with the volume makers—that’s not our place,” said Källenius. “We will still cater to the entry-level luxury segment. But we will trim the portfolio. Today we have seven models in that segment; in the future we will have four.”

I saw a lucid driving down the street the other day, they look nice in a showroom but really grab your attention on the road, very nice.
