Expensive and loud is fine (e.g. Ferrari).
Expensive and cheap is chavvy (e.g. Monaro).
It's the way of the world, sadly.
Never go full retard...Expensive and cheap is chavvy (e.g. Monaro).

Money doesn't grow on trees, nor does it provide a good benchmark of taste. Comments like this make you sound such a disgusting individual its unreal.
I'd hardly rate anything with a decent displacement V8 as cheap.. £450 VED is enough to make the most sane person bawk at the idea of running one, let alone the running costs.
Luckily, there are plenty of insane people about, VXR8 next march
Can you go too loud though? The clip played earlier is a bit OTT (IMO). I suspect it's switchable, but there's a balance to be had.
I always wanted a Wortec on mine, but in the end, I found the switchable Walkinshaw (set to loud, the button was broken, honest!) to be absolutely spot on noise wise - blatant excuse to post:

And to play devil's advocate, I loved the noise of the Monaro/VXR8 - but the noise from a C63 (or other V8 AMG) is a slight step above.

Always make me smile seeing one of these - saw a great sounding one the other Friday
That was me on my way to North Wales 
I didn't know if you were going to head down the 49 as your reg looked like a Leominster/Hereford area one

Let's assume you were just observing that such is the way of the world. Cheap and loud is chavvy (e.g. Monaro).

As such, it's odd isn't it? The actual sound doesn't change because of what it cost. So is it the rarity? Well no, you see / hear far more Astons than Monaros.
Is it that the idea of forcing one's 'noise' on other people is unacceptable, unless of course one is better than these other people (because one is richer than them) and as such can do as you please?
So does that mean a loud lambo is OK if you bought it with your money, but if it's daddy's money it's chavvy again?
It's quite complicated knowing who to judge with all these rules isn't it? What's the threshold? What if it's a financed Porsche vs a VXR8 the person owns? What if the guy in the Monaro is actually wealthy, does that then make the car no longer chavvy?
Again, I'm assuming you're just observing the absurdities of public opinion and I'm joining you on pondering about it...
I agree that is indeed the way of the world, but I don't agree with it personally.
