Greetings,
I'm soliciting some input concerning the proper vehicle to drive in the pursuit of becoming pretentious. The only reference I've found in the conversation so far makes mention of an SUV. I guess I'm wondering if, 'taking the Rover to the country home for a weekend of shooting pheasant' is pretentious or merely bourgois?

Merely bourgeois, I'm afraid.
The truly pretentious shun SUVs as the vehicle of choice for the irretrievably trendy.
Classic cars are good - especially those with a classic British marque. Otherwise you rely on public transport and other people's generosity with lifts (otherwise, how can you drink vast quantities of their flashy wine?)

Surely the ultimate pretentious vehicle should be something French and postmodern. A Citroen DS, for example? Or one of those crappy 2CVs?

Mais, Surely it is the humble bicycle, coupled with the steadfastly reliable traction engine (train).
