I think you're right about the Toyota/ Ferrari spectrum. But in my opinion, 130K is not going to cut it unless they really, and I mean really drop the price of the cars to reflect the Toyota/ Ferrari price per mile metric.
I'm not a repulsive bean counter type of guy, but a Porsche completely wearing out due to designed obsolescence at 130K miles would make even me prefer to buy a Japanese ****box putt putt with a fartcan muffler than a 130K mile rattletrap from Stuttgart.
