why arent expensive cars more reliable than cheap cars?
>>
>More tech bullshit everywhere
>Non-simple engine, transmission, and turbo designs
>If you buy a fancy car, you want power. They have to cram it with tech doo-dads and spend a ton on R&D to push the limits while staying within legal boundaries
If you slap an underpowered and basic inline-4 to a car, it's much cheaper and will last longer. But, that's not what "luxury" buyers are looking for. Owners think they're on the cutting edge of engineering (sometimes it's true), so they're willing to accept a failure here and there as part of the first wave of adopters to new tech, whether that's the case or not.
It's no big deal.

>will last longer
to an extent. when a vehicle gets too big for the engine you're stringing it out all the time which drastically shortens the lifespan.
>>
Because premium new car purchasers value technical bleeding edge over true and tested reliability
>>
The entire business model for luxury brands is serial leasing. They only need to survive a 3 year period without a major mechanical failure to not scare off the boomer from signing the new lease each time.

expensive cars have become money milking devices for middle class retards

And what about reliability for someone who can afford multiple cars and is wealthy enough to take their car to an expensive repair shop for an indefinite period?

Answer yourself.

>>28952492
People who can afford an expensive car can probably afford another one in a few years. Companies actively want cars to blow up as close to the warranty ending as possible, so they can sell a newer model
>>
Only poorfags care about reliability. This is why Goyota is #1 seller in Asia. Rich people value luxury, speed and design.

These things are just loan bait.
