I am actually having a related discussion with my wife. I grew up in a affluent area which was similar to what you guys described, kids getting fancy cars, while she grew up in a lower income area.

For our boys first car, her perspective is why wouldn't we buy a car for them since we can afford it but I want them to earn it/have buy in. My older son is about to turn 15 so we will see how this works out.
