I had a Vega briefly in the early 70's. Since I graduated to real cars I've had a couple of Nissan Z cars, an Acura RL, and a Honda Accord. Excellent cars all, although the Z cars got cranky around age 10 . In the course of buying them, I had occasion to drive a Caddy. The Caddy dealership is just a few blocks from me and highly rated. I really wanted to like that car but I just couldn't.

I think some of it is just what we like. I have never been able to find a Euro car that I wanted to buy although I know they make some good cars. Somehow, the appointments or the human interface or something is just not right. Japanese cars are just more me. Mercedes has the screwy idea, for example, that saddle is an appropriate color for the interior of a navy blue car. Eeeewww!

Edit: There's a Lexus dealership also within a few blocks of my house. Every car purchase I stop first at the Lexus dealership. I still haven't found a Lexus I liked, either. This last time, when I shopped the Lexus, I found a cassette recorder in the car. For twice the price of the Accord I ended up buying, they didn't impress me.
