My dad has a 2008 Jag XK. He bought it with a souped-up CPO warranty that covered everything except consumables—clutch, tires, brakes, seals, etc.—for like 10 yrs. / 75,000 miles. One day, my stepmother was driving the car and found that a huge amount of water was leaking into the driver's side footwell, making a huge

Totally agree. This is the pinnacle of GM's styling.

When I was 15, my dad took me to a parking lot and let me hop in the driver's seat of his Toyota pickup.

Passenger cars and SUVs are always going to have a higher sales volume than sports cars; sports cars (sold as new) are luxury items; so lower volumes are expected. Toyota and Subaru's product planners expected that. The BRZ was never intended to outsell the Forester, which is good, because it will never move units
