Why are rebaged Toyotas a luxury brand in America?

No one here in Europe considers Toyotas luxury.

Americans are badgewhores. All the japs had to do was slap another badge on their cars and market them as luxury. Lmao

>Americans are badgewhores
But then so are Europeans? they would actively avoid superior cars (like Lexus) if it didn't have an Audi or BMW badge. Maybe Americans being badge whores is a good thing (for euro manufacturers) because i don't know about Europe but in America you are raped with repair/maintenance bills so its better to just lease and dump before warranty is up. Lexus does not rip you off and you can keep your car for life with great luxury with the cost of ownership of a normal car and the sooner Americans realize that i see no reason Lexus wouldn't control the entire US Market but thanks to them being Badge-whores that means Beamuh, Audi, and Benz can exploit morons who believe excessively expensive parts = better parts.

'no'

because people are too dumb to realize

most people are surprised when I tell the the sc300/400s are just rebadged 3rd gen Toyota soarers

Americans do not understand routine maintenance. If they actually maintained a BMW or Mercedes properly they would not need to spend a lot of money getting it fixed.

doesn't matter since a Lexus isn't a hunk of shit that quickly loses it value and breaks down every 5 minutes

Thanks for the tip, scotty

it's kinda hard to do that when you need special equipment to maintenance your car, let's not forget you can't even check your own oil

a simple cheap oil change turns into a $500 job
