Why would one not garage the R350 if they had a garage space.
The right question would have been, If you have newer cars, would you park R350 in the garage and newer one outside?
Btw, I garage my FIL 2011 Camry too LOL

These cars leak. The more time spent inside, the better.

Garage keeping your vehicles is a must if you plan/hope to keep my vehicles for several years and several hundred thousand miles.
Mostly bcos I have noticed that the interior actually starts to deteriorate a lot faster than your drivetrain these days.
The UV rays plus the hot/cold cycles of being out doors will make all the plastic and faux upholstery brittle and discolored within 10 years.
Happened to my Volvo and it broke my heart when the head gasket went out and the only thing stopping me from rebuilding an otherwise outstandingly reliable car was the interior was looking really bad thus making it not a worth while investment.
