I knew someone would mention the Land Cruiser. It's the quintessential car for the HN crowd. It's upscale doesn't have the redneck vibe like an 80s Bronco or Suburban does.

A Land Rover Defender would also fit this - if you see someone driving a defender it could be a destitute farmer, a middle class mother, a millionaire footballer, or literally the Queen. It’s the most egalitarian car in the world.


Upscale? Look at this baby and call it upscale once again... (Not mine, just first hit) [0]

Land Cruisers come in two main families - the rather utilitarian 70 series, favoured by the Red Cross, UN, IS and assorted civilians with a cavalier attitude towards fuel economy - and the increasingly luxurious (yet still eminently capable!) 120/150/200 series.
