Do you really think someone even cares about a 2k Gas Guzzler Impact Fee when their new exotic import loses 25-50k in depreciation the first year? Then add 5k for annual insurance, and at least that set aside for basic maintenance before upgrades. Then only driven sparingly, 3k a year, when time and weather permits. And then have the engine pulled for a valve adjustment around 4k miles.
I could make a lengthy list of domestic new models that I would love to add to my car collection. Not the bland basic grocery getters.

I'm perplexed by your reasoning. Were you involved in the engineering process of both a Cadillac and a Lexus? Were you present at the factory when they were built and went through quality control? Have you done a survey on the styling of each car? How can you know Cadillac is unreliable when you have probably never even driven one, let alone owned one.
Or is it that Lexus is better just because you think it is? Toyota spends millions on advertising for a reason.
