I heard wealthy people in New York get driven around in Mercedes, Lincolns, Lexuses, etc., but people in LA drive supercars like Lamborghinis and Ferraris. Is this true, or do wealthy people in LA also get driven around in black luxury cars too?

You’re looking at it backwards. It’s not that West coasters don’t have the Lincoln’s and Mercedes, it’s because New York winters are hell on sports cars, and there is a lot less open road in NYC.
LA is also just a car culture city. When you’re poor in LA, you drive a shitty car, when you get rich in LA, you drive a fancy car.
When you’re poor in New York, you get driven around by public transit. When you’re rich in New York, you get driven around by a car service.
It’s obviously not so black and white, but the percentage of rich people driving sports cars in LA vs rich people getting driven in luxury cars in NY, is probably similar to the percentage of poor people driving in LA vs poor people taking transit in New York.
