Thanks for calling those of us who are Cadillac owners old and stupid.......oh and poor...LOL

Happy thanksgiving!

What a great group of auto enthusiasts this site has...

Where I live in the northeast it seems Mercedes are a dime a dozen...and interestingly enough in my small town of 4000 many are a great percentage Asian....

I thought it was the excellent school system that made this upscale town desirable only to find out it's the large percentage of Mercedes Benz that draws people here. ...( kidding of course)

How do Mercedes owners wealth rate compared to jaguar/ land rover owners?

How about compared to Lexus owners?

Curious why Cadillac was singled out in this discussion?

Would Lexus even though it's owners are poorer be considered a successful luxury brand?

Changing the international perception of each nation's prowess as car makers is impossible - German brands, and Japanese, are seen the world over as better quality.

Only for the foolish who believe what they have heard versus what they have experienced themselves...


German electronics are pitiful over time and challenge the best technicians...rivaling the old Lucas horror stories of decades ago...

I've watched my neighbors brand new Lexus rx truck ride on top of many flatbed tow trucks because the doctor couldn't get it to start....

Meanwhile my wife's trucks never needed a flatbed for all the years...

Just saying.....sometimes the image of luxury and quality are false...

True luxury to me involves working as part of the package....otherwise it becomes a hassle and is no longer a luxury item...
