this is one of the reasons they lose value more when they age. Nobody ( very few) will be looking for 10 yr old Benzs and bimmers. Its just a riskier proposition . Used Japanese cars are a safer bet

Not as many issues with a Lexus.

The Japanese brands (and Cadillac) also have better warranties....as I just pointed out above.

I'd say if you stick with a NA car with a manual transmission or traditional auto you should be fine.
I don't think the cars with Turbos, superchargers, electric, hybrid, or CVT transmissions will be hitting the 200k mark that those NA Japanese car can do without blinking an eye.

Hybrids can last a very long time.
CVTs have been around for a long time and technically CtV have less parts and no gears so they should last longer ,
Toyota has made turbos before.
GM experimented with supercharged engines in the 90s and their large pickups have turbos.
And, if anyone ever tells you that a CTV can't handle V6, V8 or high torque outputs, tell em' to stick it as they are FOS. The Maxima has a CTV and the LS600h with close to 400 ft lbs of torque has a CVT as well

(I certainly won't defend the early Corvairs, though....they had many well-known mechanical and safety problems. Most of what Ralph Nader said about them was correct).

mmarshall, you have nothing backing up your claim that a CVT won't last as long as a conventional.
Keep in mind that the combined torque of the 600h is higher than that of even the Tundra

but back in the day cars like this was built like a tank.

so IMO, it's not even about their ability to make reliable cars. to me it's always about trying to do too much.
simple always wins, but i guess it's hard to make something simple. they always to try to one up each other.

I didn't necessarily say it wouldn't last as long. I said there were several factors that would determine that. And I stand by that statement....I'm not changing it.
