Hm, maybe you're from a country where this status claim makes more sense, but where I'm from the Camry, Corolla, Prius, etc. were never seen as anything but dull run-of-the-mill middle class cars. I'd have never considered a Toyota owner a "moneyed commuter" in my life. The status symbol cars here are mainly German brands or Teslas.
