The new thinking also goes that if you can afford to buy a higher end vehicle then you can afford to fix it. This also seems to be the on-going agreement among auto bloggers. If you have been paying attention, then you have probably noticed that the non luxury vehicle you can purchase today has most of the technology that was a test bed on luxury vehicles from three or four years ago. My conclusion is that only reason for buying a high end vehicle these days is because you think you want a so called status symbol and for those that always have to have the latest technology.

Have you ever ridden in a high end vehicle vs a low end vehicle? Try it, your bones will thank you.
