[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most people that claim they "can't tell" either have not been in or driven m/any NEW genuine luxury cars or are just trying to cope with their inability to afford one. Chances are if you drive a CRV or Subaru you do not have much seat time in the latest and greatest Audis, Mercedes, BMWs, Teslas, Porsche SUVs, or even the Escalade and Navigator.

The cheapest entry level luxury car is the new Lexus ES sedan. Can be found new for about $40 grand. Go test drive one of those and tell me you can't tell that's a cozy experience.[/quote]

This is true, but I honestly believe some people just don't have the touch for it. My mother has the cheapest, smallest-engine CRV from 2011 and told my brother she couldn't notice any difference when she drove his new Porsche Cayanne to the grocery store. She wasn't just trolling.

For me, "fit and feel" is everything. It's not just about foreign labels -- plenty of non-entry level trims of domestic brands are quite good, depending on the model -- but I really take notice when the engine size feels right for the car, when the steering is responsive and smooth, when the interior details are well appointed.

My only disagreement with you is about Tesla. The build quality, or I should say consistency, is nothing to write home about. I see terrible panel gaps all the time, and it's especially notable on some Model X's when the door handles don't line up. [/quote]
