The problem is that nobody's making money from OSes anymore unless it's to sell apps, hardware, cloud services, or streaming entertainment.

I suppose all of those who are not established are pretending to be "agnostic" and "play nice" with each other until they gain a foothold and decide they don't want to be "agnostic" or "play nice" anymore, right?

Didn't happen unless there's video.

Close, especially with Lexus. It's gobbled up by the US market and nearly nowhere else. But, throw in our love of SUVs and appearing affluent and you've got to pick the RX—it's the soccer mom's announcement that she's arrived.

Real price explosions are almost always driven by collectors displacing daily drivers in the market. They don't really care about maintenance or reliability. They've got gobs of money to fix them up and generally show them around occasionally while logging under 2,500 miles a year.
