If you live in a major metropolitan area, yes. About 80% of Americans live in towns with fewer than 500k people, iirc. About 10% are around the 3 largest cities (Chicago, NYC, LA), another 10% around the +1M cities, and everyone else is fairly rural.
Because our media focuses on the big cities, it's easy to forget how different life is for most of the US. I'm originally from KY, and visits home have shown that even the humble 325i garners interest there. My Z4 2.5i got as much or more attention than a Ferrari would in Chicago. One of my aunts asked why people were waving, pointing, and giving me the thumbs-up.
