Based upon what I have seen, and experienced, below is what I see as the hierarchy. I would be interested to hear what others think.
Tier One -- best spots, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Rolls Royce (would also include other exotics like Bugattis)
Tier Two -- next level, Audi R8, Porsche Turbo (also GT3, but not 911 or 911s), Mercedes AMG SLS, Maserati, Bentley, Aston Martin.
Tier Three -- M6 and M6 GC, GTR, 911, Mercedes SL (inc. AMG), Lexus LFA
Tier Four -- Mercedes S class, Mercedes AMG E and C class, Mercedes CL, M5, 7 Series and 6 series (inc. GC), M3, Porsche Cayman and Panamera, Range Rover
Tier Five -- Corvette Stingray, Audi A8, 5 Series, E Series, Porsche Cayenne, Mercedes SLK
Tier Six -- all other high end luxury or sport cars
Also curious as to what others have tipped. In the 3 locations above, I tipped 20 dollars or euros.
