Combined with the lust many have for that era 6 series (see @roadburner’s serious nostalgia for his departed M6) and it makes sense.
Different strokes...
Now, I perhaps I might feel the same way as those buyers for say, a 69’ Charger but I still don’t think I’d pay $40k+ for one.

I would wager too that in 5 years, the BMW is worth more than now, and the Dodge won't be! If you are buying for that reason.

And if you like old Panameras, should watch this.

Speaking of which, I know that Celica is over 5 decades old, but dang, the test drive video made it sound like it had 250K miles, not 50K miles.
And it is so damned nice inside, and fun to drive, I care very very little what anyone thinks of the outside.

Best of all, it could also serve as a comfortable GT cruiser.
I also like V8 coupes(1LE and SRT), but if you haven’t driven a relatively light car equipped with an S38 you are missing a great experience.

I might need a ruling soon. If I buy my daughter's Jetta (meaning I actually give her money and re-register into my name) will that count as a punch?

*My E450 was very snug for me - and my back!
*Those $1703 a month payments on the 36 month 0% interest loan were killing me.
*I saw a new G90 at the mall in Boca Raton and truly fell in love with the driver’s seat and its comfort as well as the styling.
*When I test drove the car yesterday, the handling, quietness and acceleration were exhilarating.
When I compared the G90 to the 2018 S Class Mercedes I leased in 2017, I found the G90 even more enticing, surprisingly enough.
What else can I say?😜🤪🤓

tldr: Not impressed with its durability.
2021 Audi Q5 loaner. Leaving the shop, I got on the major arterial through Anchorage and set the cruise. And, wow. It just worked - I didn't need to touch anything. Very nice. Five miles later, after five miles of drizzling freezing rain, the ACC goes out saying something about "sensor error due to environmental conditions." Great. So, I fiddled with the system trying to figure out how to use "regular" cruise control...
No such luck. I was just out cruise for the next 95 miles! I stopped to top off fuel and inspected the front of the car: About a 1/4" of ice accumulation, which covered cameras, sensors, etc. I wasn't sure where it was, so I knocked ice off of the whole thing. Three more miles of ACC. Then, nothing.
I drove another 120 miles through rain, snow, white out, etc., with no cruise at all before finally coming out on the north side of the weather. I stopped along the side of the road and nearly broke my hand beating, scraping, flaking, and melting ice from the front of the car. Nothing... still no ACC.
However, I was in a warm pocket of above-freezing air, and this seemed to clear up whatever lingering deterrent was there after several more miles, and I finally had cruise for the remaining 120 miles of the trip.
Conclusion? Technology is well into "fails in the real world" stage due to trying to do too much. I would MUCH rather have any cruise than unreliable "pamper me" cruise. The one redeeming quality of ACC is that I found myself getting far less annoyed with drivers who are inconsistent with their speeds because I'm not actively having to adjust for them until I can find a passing opportunity.
so still IMO a plus. You get the plain old version, but when weather cooperates, also get the fancy one. So you aren't losing anything with the new tech.
I still don't like cruise anyway, and I definitely never use it in bad weather. Too stressful, since I drive with my foot hovering over the brake anyway.

Winner was a woman buying back her husbands dream car that he sold decades ago when they started a family and planning to surprise him with it as a thank you for everything he did for the family for 35 years. Cute story. I would probably yell at my wife though if she did it for me! Not a worry, since not a chance she would try (or heck, in my case, even know what to get!)

I haven't investigated my cruise control as I've rarely used it throughout my driving life.
'21 Dark Blue/Black Audi A7 PHEV (mine); '22 White/Beige BMW X3 (hers); '20 Estoril Blue/Oyster BMW M240xi 'Vert (Ours, read: hers in 'vert weather; mine during Nor'easters...)
I use cruise whenever I'm driving for long distances because my right leg and hip cramps up something horrible after an hour or two if I can't move it around. I've driven in winter weather long enough that I've come to realize that cruise control isn't bad to use in winter weather; it's just the drivers that are bad. LOL
When I'm driving my old vehicles for long distances, I will switch legs on the accelerator so that I can give my right leg a break (one of the benefits of old vehicles). I don't know why I have an issue with this; it's just always been a "thing" for me.
Anyhow, here's the link if you're interested in the follow up.

The trips do give me an excuse to visit my college roommate. I crashed at his place overnight before dropping off the car this morning.
Crazy stuff, though: He had a 2000 Chevy Silverado, 90's forest green, since it was new. 21 years old, 100,000 miles, and it was in just incredibly good shape. About five weeks ago, a crew of people descended upon it in the parking lot at his office and stole it in the middle of the day.
He had to replace it on short notice, and he wanted something basic, but with 4WD (his last one was a single cab short bed 4x4)... nearly impossible to find these days! He ended up with a new turbo-4 Ranger king cab, which was something like 6" longer than his other truck; cost him $30K OTD.
