I would second this statement.

Of course Porsche is a luxury brand, by virtue of all their cars being expensive. What's so tough about that?

As I said, what about Ferrari, Lambo, Bugatti, AM.
Hell the most prestigious luxury brand would have to be Rolls Royce.

Those are all Luxury brands. One doesn't have to make luxury cars to be a luxury brand. Semantically speaking, the Saleen S7 is a luxury car, because it's really, really expensive.

One could legitimately argue that Bugatti is the most prestigious luxury brand, because it's vehicles are amongst the most rare and expensive.
