The times I've visited downtown Toronto, yes people are exceptionally well-dressed.  You're looking at people who are young, urban & trendy, and often well-off  (compared to typical mid-sized Canadian city population), and the ones who aren't well-off play keeping-up-with-the-jones'.  Seems like 1/3 of everyone in the city drives an Audi, BMW, or Mercedez...the cars in TO are ridiculous.

The cars are crazy and I don't understand it.  I drive for transportation not to burn money.

I was getting ready to post this so I took notice of the people on my way home tonight.  I came from the dentist so I was against the rush hour push and I took a streetcar too.  I noted that the people, even the ones who weren't young or particularly fit, took care in their appearance so that is why I posted this.

Transit culture I actually hate. Public transit...the people are weird and smelly...it's weird nobody ever talks to each other, but also a good thing people are quiet & don't bother me.  Driving...people can be quite rude and selfish often...the bigger the city, the least likely people will let you in if you're changing lanes, especially at rush hour.
  Car culture yes.  I think transit is different though.
