Funny you bring it up. I had this conversation today with someone.
While I was doing some car searching to replace my lease recently, I finally decided to go and take a look at Infiniti, Lexus, and Acura. I think these manufacturers are living off past glory because I was not impressed at all. I really don’t think they’re in the same league as BMW, MB, Audi, etc. There was no way I could see justification to their pricing based on what I saw.
This image is taken from a 2018 Lexus GS, which starts at $46K. This belongs in a Corolla at best.
I could go on, but I guess I’ve vented enough.
