I am a single male. When I first learn how to drive I drove a Seven passengers vehicle like a minivan. So when I first doing my research with the price point and everything it leads me to the R-class so does liking an R-class make me less of a male? Because R-class seen to attract to the female population then to the male population so does liking an R-class make me less of a male?

Spend less time worrying about what others think. You'll realize how much a waste of time that is when you get older.

Buy what suits your needs and finances. If a 6/7 passenger luxo-people hauler suits a single male, so be it...

That said, I wouldn't be caught driving a VW Beetle. Someday I should follow my own advice...

The answer to your question is NO. The more appropriate question is:

What purposes do I need this car for?

Make your choice from there....

Yes, unless it's an R63.

My friend uses to drive a mpv van, he would call it a multi player vehicle on the way to the clubs. Dont worry what others think, just cause its not an escalade or tahoe doesnt mean you cant drive it.

Like every Mercedes model, the R is autobahn ready.

don't worry what others think. I love my R-class and I have a few suvs, trucks, Porsche's. Again, I love my r-class, and not afraid.

Do some performance upgrades, cosmetic upgrades... etc

R already got rid of the sliding rear doors. What else do you expect? Scissor doors?!
Hey definitely get a R63 if you could find one.

The R is one of the sexiest wagons around... fast and comfy to boot! add front aerodynamics, rear spoiler and larger wheels, make it black and this ain't no soccer moms car!
