Out of that group I definately agree, but wonder why they left out some pretty important playas like:

Aston
Bentley
Rolls Royce
Ferrari
Lambo
Maserati

If it wasn't for the Cayenne, we would have won in quality too

The devil's in the details. I'm not sure the 500 people are considered rich. Certainly a net worth of $750k doesn't mean much these days.

Certainly quality sets our P-cars apart from the exotics and Euro-luxury marques. And though Volvo, Saab, and Acura make luxury cars, none of those brands would ever claim to be the most "prestigous luxury marque."

Looks like the marques are those that could be daily drivers for upscale professionals, rather than toys for the super-rich. I wonder who funded the project?

Your list doesn't include a single model availible for under 100k. The list provided might be for the "working rich" rather than the obscenely rich
