I work in the automotive industry ...
The $100k GMC Denali with all the gadgets and gizmos goes down the same weld line, the same paint line, and the same final assembly line as a Chevy work truck. Most of the bits and pieces that make it work are all the same.
It's not different with cars ... a Mustang GT500 goes down the same line as a base model. A Dodge Demon went down the same line as a run-of-the-mill V6 Challenger. A Civic Type R went down the same line as the cheap model.
The high-end stuff just isn't all that special when seen this way.
I'll buy what serves a functional purpose while skipping the nonsense.
