Even lexus have their own unique sophisticated touch, such as vip parking in local malls as a loyalty program to their customer, which is a very nice bonus (really hard to find free parking lots here) and also a free flow haagen dazs and equil waters every time you buy car or visit their workshop for maintenance. Plus, if you're a buyer of somewhere outside capital region, you'll get a free 5 star hotel, business class plane ticket and vip limousine to deliver you to their main gallery.

But yes, the absolute majority of people see cars as transportation devices and nothing more, so they don't buy anything like this. Also, what a lot of car people don't understand is that because of the rise of self-driving vehicles, this hobby is very close to dying, or at least very close to changing completely. A very small amount of people will modify cars once you can't drive them on regular roads (we will some day transition completely to self driving cars), and you can't modify a car which is driven completely by a computer. And car manufacturers know it, so they don't really try to invest in this market.

      @@lucysmith4242 Yeah, that's what the world is lacking - a bare-bones simple sporty car. One that is a Toyota, not a Lexus. But I'm guessing that's regarded as less profitable. The gadgets and "luxury" aspect aren't really that expensive to the manufacturer but can command a much higher price.
      Finding a bare-bones basic car of any sort is really difficult now, I blame that on current safety and emissions laws - all cars are required to have sophisticated airbags, stability control, backup camera (and associated screen), complicated emissions controls, and so on. These things will make any car with the bare minimum requirements to be sold still fairly expensive, and if people are going to pay that much it makes sense to pay just a little more for a "nice" car.
      But still, I could imagine a car outfitted like the cheapest (still not super cheap) current econoboxes but with a performance engine and tuned suspension. Well actually that's pretty much what the Ford Focus RSX was, and Ford seemed to try to sabotage it through lousy marketing and dealers not catering to the people who would buy it. This leads me to another suspicion, that the old farts at car companies don't want to make a "yobbo" car, don't want to be associated with "hooligans" in any way. They'll make interesting "halo" cars, but deliberately price them out of reach of young driving enthusiasts to keep the brand's reputation for "distinguished people." Then I suppose a way around that would be to create a separate brand for that to distance it from their mainline (Boomer-appeasing) brand. That would be Scion, but they totally missed the mark. Leading me to the conclusion that auto maker execs don't understand and/or don't like young car enthusiasts.
