Cadillac is years behind bmw, audi, benz. They make terrible sports sedans and have no audience. Lexus seems to attract the vacuous 35-45 crowd that want a car that reflects their youthful success rather than their taste in fine cars.
I currently own a 1984 Mercedes Benz 300D that I bought for $100 in 2004 and CANNOT KILL no matter what I do.
