Cars are still very personal to our generation IMHO and like much in life, is a choice driven ( :D ) by a multitude of factors.

I think it's more than just our generation; they are a very 20th century USA thing.

Too low? Too high? It was an arbitrary number. Have not bought a new car in close to 8 years. $40 work better for you - top Subaru Outback is around there....
There seems to be a congruence between $40K and boring clone Outback...but, that's just me.

That was the exact point - clones and boring cars unless you spent over some # to that qualified as exotic. However, mine has 155k miles on it so far.

Either someone spent a fortune on acrylic body work or are masters of Trompe-l'œil painting.

Making an effort to slowly sort through the mountain of stuff that's accumulated in this house over the last 35 years...it's daunting. Found this little Lorenz replica wind-up lurking in a cupboard, still in its replica box, lol:

I seem to remember Lorenz being a German company, but this was made in, guess where...China. Don't recall where I got it.
