It's 2010, does the type of car you drive matter to your clients?

My car was recently totaled and now I am in the market for a new car. I drove a Lexus SUV, that I really enjoyed. I had purchased it in cash, and it was 5 years old. It had great value, so I am committing myself to only use the cash from the insurance company.Times are different now, and I feel that the current economy does play a factor in determining what vehicle, I am going to buy. I am in Minnesota, which I also feel plays a part in the type of vehicle I buy ( I won't drive a rear wheel drive). I want my car ( I am switching to a sedan) to be very reliabile, of top quality, stylish, perform well, and have a high value proposition. Just the traits I attribute to my Real Estate business. I do feel that people want to work with successful people, but should it matter if I have a clean premium Honda Accord or a Lexus? Audi is a great car, but expensive to repair, and always in the shop. I have not read comments on this topic in 2010, so I am curious what everyone thinks? Is it wise in this economy to drive a high end car? Do people really judge you if you drive US or foreign? Please be specific in your car suggestions, not just "a nice car".
