Most Americans see someone in a Limo and think, "Man, that can be me if I come up with a good product, or work hard, or invest wisely."
Most Europeans see someone in a Limo and think, "The government should tax that person more, so I can have a limo, two months vacation, and a 32 hour work-week."

depends on how you define a Limo
the american stretch limo's over here are rare
you'll only see em for people using them for a special occasion
marriage, or film premieres
the european alternative is a big ass Merc or Bmw ( still small compared to american big cars )
an american stretch limo get's the " look at that posing poof, and damn those things are ugly " , ditto for blacked out hummers
big bimmers and merc get comments if they're driven by aholes, and pushing them through traffic, either with or without police escort, in those cases it's "look at that elitist/royal/bigshot politician/CEO scum/Corps Diplomatic scum , why can't they just stand in a traffic jam like everyone else , there is no life or death danger"
any car has the potential to be driven by jerks, so any car can get comments based on road behaviour , but obvious big expensive cars are just asking for it if it's antisocial driving
i've yet to hear anyone comment " that one needs more taxes"
and definately not from just seeing a car if it's just participating normally in traffic...
