Have you heard of the term "yuppie"? Yuppies are usually under 40, extremely focused on their careers, ambitious and often a bit trendy (enjoys eating in fancy restaurants and going out in the coolest hot spots in the city). The cars that would fit a yuppie the best would be ones that are sophisticated enough for client meetings hip and trendy enough for nights out on the town in the premier nightclubs and most expensive restaurants. Here is a list of cars that suit the busy and active lives of today's trend setting young professionals.

Jaguar's XJ would be well suited for the yuppie who has made it big, perhaps through owning their own internet start-up or being made a partner in a top law firm. The Jaguar models a few years ago might have been a bit stuffy and old fashioned but not the XJ; this car is completely modern, super sexy and lets the world know that you have "arrived". It's powered by a powerful eight cylinder engine with 385 horsepower. Its body structure is composed out of aluminum and allegedly even lighter than that of the super small Mini Cooper. The XJ reaches the sixty mph mark in just 5.4 seconds while the Supercharged model does so in 4.9 seconds.

The S60 is another great choice for young successful folks due to its European styling, modern technology and all around good looks. The interior is plush and comfortable with a seven inch LCD screen, a trip computer and the all-important Bluetooth feature. With an engine that puts out 300 HP and 325 lb feet of torque, the S60 is ideal for go-getter types who like to drive a car with a substantial amount of power. Standard features include an AWD system and a six speed transmission.

Just because you work hard all day long 8-5 doesn't mean you can't go push the limits on the weekends! The Land Rover is perfect for the ambitious achiever who likes to go off-roading on his or her free time. This big SUV is the ultimate status symbol car because it's pretty price at over the $70k range and it has the reputation of being one of the most luxurious SUV's on the market. The car comes with automatic cruise control, USB compatibility and even a system that lets you know when someone is driving in your blind spot.

We picked these cars out as ideal for yuppies because they are all exquisitely styled, come with modern technology and they are in the luxury segment. These cars are versatile enough to fit into the busy lifestyle for almost any successful young individual.
