Being the car NUT that I am and owning three now and having on as many at five at one time, I have definitely not been a brand “whore“
If you know how to shop just about all of the American and German car makers make some quality product. There is a little bit of you get what you pay for.
For years and years the American car companies could not build a machine that was as pleasurable to drive and put together as the Germans. That gap has closed and almost dissipated completely at this juncture.
This is especially true with the performance division of the American auto makers. For example the SRT division of Chrysler, the V division of Cadillac, and the same with Ford and Chevrolet.
In fact as an over the top car enthusiast- I share the widely viewed opinion that some of the American performance cars may be better value in the “bang for the buck “ measurement
I have owned five SRT vehicles, several V versions of the Cadillac sports performance sedans, the Ford ST version, as well as several M BMWs and several Audi RS versions
The American cars are very close but substantially less expensive to purchase.
But to 847s point, I get maintenance on my Audi RS5 done every 10,000 miles and I incorporated the cost into the purchase at a very reasonable price.
I wouldn’t kick any of them out of my driveway for eating crackers LOL
