Neighbor just got a new X7. Bucktoothed gingivitis grille isn't an attractive design element.

Who on God's green Earth would pay $150k+ for a new factory BMW? Don't get me wrong, one of the best sports cars that was ever made was the old M3 coupes, and the Z8s are definitely worth 6 figures....but if you are going to spend that kind of cash you can get a used exotic that will hold it's value better than these bread boxes.

75% of all luxury vehicles leaving the showroom floor are leases which are then written down/off as business expense. This is why none of the manufacturers give a shit about reliability...why bother when the cars get sold off as junk and recycled into candle holders/cheap shovels at Lowe's or Home Depot at the end of the lease.
Same year used Ranger Rover sells for less than a same year Toyota Highlander that I own. Ditto for a base Cayenne or Audi. It's almost as if poor reliability cannot make up for $400 more in (manufacturer cost) interior "luxury" components. To put it into perspective, to get the same level of junk in a Land Rover Discovery that comes in my Highlander Limited? Almost 3x the cost. Does BMW put 3x the amount of engineering or materials in their Land Rover than a Highlander? Not even close...less. 3 year lease is standard. the last 15 months of the lease is pure profit.

“Nissan, you and the Juke are stupid to use DRLs as what appear to be the real headlights but they are not!”
“new innovated split headlight design! Wow so wow now that it’s not a Nissan!”

Insecure young men with lots of money. There's probably a good amount of overlap with the green Lamborghini crowd but don't underestimate the psychological effect of it being new over a used exotic. Smarter money would never buy either.
It's a bit like the original Hummer, it attracts a certain clientele and they pay through the nose for it. That was another car that was talked about way more than it ever sold (less than 12,000 sold over a 14 year production run, plenty of popular cars sell that many every two weeks)

Your posse can't fit in a Ferrari!
Also, I don't see any exotics under $200k. The only other option for rappers is Rolls Royce, and I don't see them under $345k+.
It's not really a new phenomenon, when I was looking for a car around 2010, I found a few used
Edit: Went looking for the car, and it sorta refreshed my memory. It was a Merc.

There's something about the way the light hits that blue that I really like. It doesn't seem to reflect light and look super shiny like a metallic, but it looks like it's glowing. Pretty cool effect.
