Really? Have you ever been to suburban Essex? If you had, you really wouldn't need to ask.

I suppose I have to bear in mind how you've said you don't care about the semantics, but "flash", suggests more of a reactive opinion of the car, compared to a more passive description such as "fancy", or indeed "nice" and "new". So of course whether the word is appropriate depends on the user. You think it's appropriate, I don't.

I've recently noticed a couple of mundane marques with personalised plates, and a sticker on the window along the lines of 'this is a 2010 model'...... just in case the plate gives you the impression it's not new!
