[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][mastodon][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for the input. After much thought, I am going to get a Japanese car. As much as I love driving European cars, I don't want to deal with the possibility of an expensive repair. [/quote]
You made the right choice. European cars are nice but they aren’t for everyone. They are for people who can afford them. 
If you aren’t really a car enthusiast, you’ll be happy with a Toyota. You don’t need an European car. [/quote]

Toyota has plenty of cars for car enthusiasts, you are just being ignorant[/quote]

No true car enthusiast is excited about Toyota. No mainstream Toyota is appealing to car enthusiasts. Many mainstream BMWs are appealing to car enthusiasts. It's that simple. [/quote]

Problem is there are too few car enthusiasts to begin with, not enough for car companies to be interested.  Toyota/Subaru twins and Miata are really the only affordable classic lightweight rear wheel drive sports cars available new in the US, who knows for how long. BMW moved mostly to heavy high horse power cars which are what $70k plus? [/quote]

The Caddie V black wing is the king of rear wheel drive power [/quote]

But it is not a 4 door sedan. For really fast try this.

The 2026 Cadillac Lyriq‑V is Cadillac’s first all‑electric V‑Series model and is officially the quickest Cadillac ever, with a 0–60 mph time of 3.3 seconds when using Velocity Max mode Car and Driver+1. This performance is enabled by 615 hp and 650 lb‑ft of torque from its dual‑motor all‑wheel‑drive

The fastest of all Japanse cars is 2026 Lexus model RZ 550e F SPORT AWD, achieving 0-60 mph in just 4.1 seconds. Most Japanese cars are really slow the 2026 Toyota Camry accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 6.9 seconds for front-wheel drive and 6.8 seconds for all-wheel drive.

The 2025 Cadilac CT5-V Blackwing, which can reach over 200 mph on the track from factory is the Fastest Sedan in the world. Meaning only a very very small handful of 2 seater super cars can even get close to its top speed. Its top speed on a track unmodified was recorded at 210 mph. To put that in percpective. Disneyworld is a 860 mile drive from the Tysons Mall. If no traffic a Blackwing could make it in four hours and nine minutes.  [/quote]

I always wondered what do you get out of the ownership of these kind of sports cars? That you hypothetically can get to Disney in 4 hours? But it is not like you can drive faster than 80mph on highway here. Any civic can do that and a good driver in a civic will be faster on a twisty road than you in your porky Cadillac [/quote]
