Although I haven't owned an American car since the '60s, I gather that the
newish Caddies are OK, I think you can get one with a Corvette engine and
possibly a stick.
Ferraris are expensive to maintain in part b/c the engine timing belt service
requires an engine drop or pull. (Not sure if this remains true on the latest
models). Parts were high, but not as crazy as Lambo parts. Porsche parts
aren't cheap either, but there is a huge third aftermarket supply of stuff for
them. Mechanics' time/cost pretty much the same across the board, unless
you know somebody. Most ignominious fixes- owning a Fiat with a 'Ferrari'
motor- Fiat quality, Ferrari pricing. (Yes, I know Fiat has owned Ferrari since
'69).
