I've always been fascinated by car brands. The four generally recognized second-tier luxury car brands are Lexus, Acura, Infiniti, and Cadillac. These brands are slightly less luxurious than Mercedes-Benz and BMW but each has its own characteristics: Lexus, from Toyota, is known for its ultra-reliability and smooth driving; Acura, under Honda, offers strong handling and practicality; Infiniti, originating from Nissan, features stylish designs and exquisite interiors; Cadillac, as an old American brand, is powerful and modern in style. They are more suitable for people with limited budgets, being economical for daily driving and not as expensive to maintain as first-tier brands. I've driven a Cadillac ATS, which has strong power and is stable at high speeds, and also smooth for city commuting, saving me a lot of hassle.

In the automotive circle, there are four commonly mentioned second-tier luxury brands: Lexus, Acura, Infiniti, and Cadillac. They are more upscale than regular cars but not as premium as Audi, offering much better value for money. Lexus holds its value well, so you won't lose much when reselling after a few years; Acura has strong sporty performance, making cornering a thrill; Infiniti offers high comfort, ideal for long trips without fatigue; Cadillac embodies strong American style with steady power output. It's recommended to test drive these models before buying to see which suits your habits—for example, choose Infiniti for city driving to save fuel, or Cadillac for suburban areas with better off-road capability.
