Its remarkable if its the only one on the block, or in the whole city: I was walking down a quiet residential street in Europe once and was surprised to see a giant red pickup sitting in the driveway. Looked incredibly out of place.
I had a friend in England who said the big thing to do when you "made it" was to import a Cadillac Escalade from the States. You could tell because they were left hand drive. Here in North America, Escalades don't seem like such a big deal anymore.
