My DH drives a Lexus SUV. I drive a Nissan Armada. My Nissan is so much more comfortable than his Lexus. It’s all so subjective.

So the bazyliion dealerships in the area serve purely decorative purpose? They are an element of the local landscape? Where do those cars go then? Not to other areas right? Because the equal distribution of dealerships is such that they are everywhere you go. So.. ?

This. And when people make that mistake, it says a lot about them. (This means you, OP.)

LOL. no.. hahahha.. good one. Wondering about the perception of car prestige by no means equals to supporting it or exploiting it or agreeing with it. Isn't it curious to see how the people perceive the cars? You are saying that if they the sheer expressing what people think make them neutral to this until asked? No, people think what they think regardless of being asked. Sheer process of asking does not formulate their perception.

Different class altogether, the questions was about SUV, does RR make SUVs? Aston Martin and Lamborghini are collectors limited market.

Yes, all of those cars make SUVs as seen in the pictures in the thread. They are just regular SUVs like the ones the OP listed.

Maserati makes a gorgeous SUV.

I really enjoy my Ford Explorer. It’s the most prestigious to me.

Lexus, Acura, BMW, Porsche, Jaguar, Land Rover, Alfa Romeo, Audi, Mercedes Benz, Tesla, Volvo

I would rank them by performance and not most prestigious.

As far as performance in two feet of snow they all suck.

They would be at the bottom of the list. All of them.

Two feet of snow in our area is considerable and rare anomaly, daily judgement based on car - daily occurrence.
