Is it the brand perception of these "better" cars or is it the look at me bling factor that you're willing to spend more on and get less ?
I was thinking the same. By reading some of the posts in this thread, it looks like most would prefer to buy a car because of it's perception/exotic looks where the performance is secondary (see: prefers buying an Aston Martin because of it's look vs. it's performance). Look, prices are going up but the way I look at it, sure BMW is just that, a BMW and doesn't have that status as a Porsche or Ferrari, but it offers performance, looks and everyday driving - a balanced car for the same price as cars you would only drive in certain conditions. In that sense, the BMW could be seen as value.
