You missed the part where I mentioned people owning apartments yet not cars, and also where I explicitly referred to my (admittedly subjective) impression of a subset of car owners as ‘poorer’. To expand: this is a rather well-known cultural effect, with first-gen immigrants valuing wealth and its symbols more than the postmaterialistic boheme.
The families I know generally use attachable bike carriages for their children, and car sharing for exceptional needs.

You extrapolate the trend from an early datapoint. Maybe where you live car ownership is for poor, but not here. A rustbucket in Norway would buy you a great car in Germany.
