In my experience using my relatives for example, owning A LOT of cars was one of them. Back in Asia, owning a car is a huge status quo for being affluent. Being able to own not just one but two or more here is an achievement they can brag about! I don't care much for Pianos either. Not sure when this symbolic icon became to be but nonetheless, the American dream has evolved along with the turn of modern technology. I guess the only one thing that never changed is that a lot of Asians wants to live in the US and that is the American dream!

For my parents, their American dream was probably owning their own home, which they achieved about ten years ago. I don't know if the American dream concept applies to me, since I was born and raised here, but how about an Asian American ideal in general: Seeing us accurately represented in media and entertainment, both in terms of numbers and how we really live our lives.
