Wow what a messed up post. Also most wealthy people don't drive showboat cars. I can afford those top cars in your list, but why? They are junk to be honest. The A4 is what I chose because I buy a car to suit MY needs not to show off to losers that would be in aw of something that silly. I would pick the Audi or the Porsche Cayman as top picks for great cars. Mercedes isn't what it once was. All the other so-called top cars are not really good cars, they are for showing off.

Good luck to you.
Extreme wealthy* people might often have a ferrari type car as a thrill toy. They might be for showing off but probably to someone who likes cars, they are also a blast to drive around those hills on a Saturday morning. Doesn't have to be an either/or. Mind you even we also shouldn't assume that "showing off" is the primary motive.
*I also think the distance between extreme wealthy and wealthy is more than that between wealthy and "upper middle class".
So what. The two best selling Lexus vehicles the ES and the RX are based on the Toyota Camry.
Small to midsize Audis are based on VWs.
Using platform sharing, an process all manufacturers use to ONLY dis domestics is lame.

All true to an extent, but wrong in the case of Cadillac and the direction they want to go. The average age of a buyer is as follows among Cadillacs main targeted competitors in the Tier One luxury brands and how much they aged over the past couple of years:
Audi - 49 +3
BMW - 50 +3
Mercedes - 52 +3
Lexus - 55 +4
Cadillac - 57 +2
As stated the industry as a whole was +3. So, Lexus got a little older, Cadillac got a little younger relative to the rest of the industry. In the case of Cadillac they would love to be sitting in that ~51-53 range. To Cadillac execs that will be the mark of success and becoming a true competitor to the Euro brands. Cadillac will probably always be a little older do to the popularity of more "traditional" vehicles like the XTS. However, they need to capture more of the youth market. Cadillac wants the succesful 30 year old in an ATS, not a 3-series and the succesful 40 year old driving a CTS, not a 5-series, etc.
The real key for the brands is not to lose a whole generation of drivers. That is very damaging for decades to come
off topic....I gotta admit I really like the Buick Enclave. Too bad, I would never buy a GM car in my lifetime....hence they lost most of the drivers in my generation.
Neither was the G6..But I dont see how you think any of those Buick current cars looks like a G6.
You really dont see the G6 in the Verano?? That's all I see...
