If you plan to keep the car for a long time, there simply will not be a more affordable competitor. With European car manufacturers going tiny displacement engine with turbo in order to adhere to the Euro emission standard, they are only in the business of selling computerized appliances that are destined to break within a few years, and trying to make the last few years of profit with ICE cars before they go full electric. I am quite sure the IS500 can run for over 20 years (affordably) if Toyota continues to provide replacement parts.

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.
