This seems to be especially true with my Asian neighbors. Almost all of them drive Lexus LX580 or LS500. All of them had multiple bad experiences with American made cars, with the exception of Tesla. FWIW, I drive the Lexus NX300.

BS that Tesla is an exception MAGA consumer product safety says otherwise. So does Edmonds and consumer reports and many other reviews.

I see several Ford Expeditions in our Arlington neighborhood.

Except for Cadillacs aimed at rappers?

The ford “luxury” is the Lincoln brand.

The richest person I ever knew personally drove a 30+ year old daily driver. They were worth probably more than anyone that's ever visited this site.

Poor and middle to lower upper income like to overspend on cars to try to flex.

My Toyota Corolla is 20 years old and I'm worth 20M. Honestly, I do worry about the airbag on my car. It wasn't subject to recall, but it's OLD. The rest of the vehicle has worked fine all these years with cheap, infrequent maintenance.

You need a new car. With that kind of money, it's foolish not to invest in your own safety. Hopefully you have replaced the kinds of rubber and plastic things that break randomly. Get yourself a new Corolla if you must.

My neighborhood in Chevy Chase is full of Suburbans and Tahoes and Jeeps.

The Bronco seems to be popping up in our neighborhood, but mostly for high school students it seems like.

Bezos, before he became a bozo, drove a Honda minivan even when they were super rich.

Rich high school kids in DC and southern suburbs get Broncos and Jeeps. Broncos are on the upswing given recent reliability issues with Jeeps.

I know a few people who have them. One of the families has some sort of family connection to Ford, so they get deals. The other families are middle class Arlington.

I'll take the OP at their word that they don't see GM, Ford or Chrysler CARS in their neighborhood. I am certain they see trucks and SUVs made by those brands.

That is not surprising because GM, Ford and Chrysler actually offer very few "cars" for sale. Ford has the Mustang and that's it. Chevy sells only the Malibu and Corvette. Chrysler/Dodge sells the Charger and that's it.

Yeah this is it. People who want a car go foreign, trucks are American, SUVs are split. I looked around my neighborhood today on a walk and there were plenty of American trucks, a few SUVs, and one old Focus.
