If I didn't have a family Id still have my corvette. Granted its more performance based than luxury but there are tons of luxury features. Great looking car feels amazing inside and performs awesomely. My 05 base model vette felt more like a luxury car than my 2010 Camaro 2SS/RS. Heck my wifes 07 Tahoe LTZ has more luxury features than my Camaro. Granted the new vettes are pricey but you can get a used one for a pretty good price. They are relatively easy to maintain and upgrade little harder than the Camaro but way easier than most German or Japanese luxury cars. I have a friend that has a big fully loaded Mercedes with a supercharged V-8, Im pretty sure its an E55. That car is fast!!! especially for its size. But he is an ASE certified mechanic and does all his own work. He still complains about how expensive it is to get parts and how involved the work is. His car is faster than my Camaro (atleast in a straight line) but even with all of its features it feels very disconnected and boring to drive. Even when you floor it it doesn't seem like you are accelerating that fast. Its feels more like a floating feeling than actually driving the car. I really enjoy driving my Camaro more than that one. I personally would not want to deal with all the maintenance let alone the costs to upgrade it. If you enjoy cars because of the feeling you get driving them stick with domestic and maybe look into the luxury options that have been suggested. If you prefer to look at a car as a status symbol or want it because people think its a cool car go with foreign luxury. If you want a middle of the road go with a BMW if you can stomach the maintenance and upgrades.
