The real secret with that was that they actually put Camry engines in Lexus cars. They prettied the outside and add a Marketing campaign and UP goes the price.
I'm a BMW guy...but decided I didn't want to spend 75K for a car anymore...We have 2 vehicles and we put about 12K miles on them added together each year...so we could get along with any kind of vehicle...probably even one now that I dropped out of the golf club..
