$70-$80k today for a car is not expensive at all. If you have a regular job today everyone can buy a new or a used "luxury" car. Hell you get a fucking Bentely Continental GT for $15k today, and you get a Maserati for $5k. Yes they are trash, will break down within a week because of the milage, but its all an illusion.
Porsche is not a "luxury" car anymore except a few models. There are more Porsches around now than station wagons over here.

And in The US, you have some of the craziest downpayments out there. 0 down and get a car as long as you can show for something.

People buy cars on credit and its the shittiest investment in most cases. Its all about looking successful and thats it.

I would love to have the Lexus GX550 or A Grand Highlander or a Land Cruiser if I lived in The US. They are solid, reliable and take you from A to B without having the lamps in the dash start blinking after 2-4k miles like these shitty European cars that they make today. And no, European cars like German cars are NOT the same reliability and quality as it was decades ago. You basically buy the brand and thats it.

I have always had Toyotas and Lexus and will continue to buy them. I love american cars but since I live in the fag side of the west, we dont get them. And if I am to import any, its gonna cost me $300k for a new Escalade after taxes.

So Americans are fucking lucky as hell when it comes to cars and what they cost. Best country in the world when it comes to cars and what to chose from.
