"Prestige categories
While it is difficult, if not impossible to categorize the prestige enjoyed by the many different types of automobiles it can be easily agreed upon that with the great variety of prestige vehicles come several different types of prestige.
The degree of prestige enjoyed by a vehicle usually depends on the vehicle's pricing as well as its history and position in the manufacturer's line-up. This is why a Mercedes-Benz S-Class or Lincoln Town Car have far more prestige than a Volvo S60 or Acura TSX.
Entry-level This type of prestige is usually enjoyed by some entry-level luxury cars as well as semi-luxury prestige cars and brands. Semi-luxury vehicles such as the Acura TSX, Volvo S60, and proper luxury car such as the Lincoln Zephyr, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, or Lexus IS can be found in this category.
Mid-level This the degree of prestige is mostly enjoyed by the mid-line up vehicles of luxury car manufacturers such as the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, BMW 5-Series, or Cadillac STS. Some non-luxury vehicles such as the Hummer H2, Porsche Boxster, and Chevrolet Corvette fit into this category.
Flagship While many Flagship sedans such as the Lexus LS and the Lincoln Town Car are priced quite a bit below the Mercedes-Benz S-Class or BMW 7-Series, they are nonetheless the flagship models of their luxury manufacturers and enjoy a degree of prestige higher than that of "Mid line-up vehicles" and roughly equal to that of certain Mercedes-Benz S-Class or BMW 7-Series models. Some very high-end non-luxury sport models such as the Porsche Carrera fit into this category as well.
Vehicles in this category include but are not limited to the Lincoln Town Car, Lexus LS, Infiniti Q45, Cadillac DTS as well as the most common models of the Jaguar XJ, Mercedes-Benz S-Class, BMW 7-Series, and Audi A8
Ultra The Ultra luxury segment is probably the only prestige category with roughly the same pricing guidelines as the Ultra Luxury Car Segment, which describes vehicles priced above $90k. This category includes the A8 W12, Mercedes S600, BMW 760, as well as the entire line-up of all marques who exclusively sell vehicles priced in excess of $90k such as Bugatti, Maserati, Lamborghini, Ferrari, as well as Bentley, Rolls-Royce, and Maybach."
