Speaking strictly on "luxury" points and details and nothing else:

• Lexus
• Acura
• Cadillac
• GMC (Denali line is a very stout contender with Cadillac)
• Lincoln
• Tesla
• Infiniti
• Genesis
• Buick
• Chrysler
• Jeep
• Hummer (Last because honestly I can only base things on older models as I don't have much info or experience with the new one)

...having close friends with every model of Tesla, I think a lot of people mistake technology for luxury. Tesla does have a nice fit and finish in many regards, but I'm not sure it really screams luxury.

Infiniti and Genesis have a really strange way of mixing nice finishes with cheap Nissan/Hyundai parts intermingled. I owned a Genesis for almost 10 years that I really liked, but the more I drove it, the more the Hyundai pieces would stand out.

Buick is an old dinosaur who still do mid range luxury well but the cars are just uninspired to me.

Lincoln has always done luxury quite well, but the luxury is built around cars that don't seem to reflect the fit and finish, and that's really hard to ignore.

FCA can make luxury cars (the 300 line has always been a great example of this) but then they miss the mark about 85% of the other time. Take a look at what RAM has done away from their control...the new RAM trucks are just night and day better than they were, even from just a fit and finish stand point. It'd be nice to see what a future 300 could become without that mentality too.

Cadillac/GMC tend to do the same things right. The trucks are simply luxury through and through, but the cars/small SUV's can many times seem to reflect a lot of the cheaper GM approaches, particularly lighting in my opinion.

Lexus and Acura have a really great way of taking a Toyota/Honda and just making the interior of it tremendously comfortable but also incredibly useful and ergonomic. They also seem to have a knack for technology gimmicks that really make the driving experience more relaxing and inviting (IE: ambient lighting in the interior to calm you, temperature zones that actually work with more than just movement of air, etc). My biggest complaint about both of these is that 10-15 years down the road, many of the finishes can become prematurely worn to a point of being an eyesore.

Jeep Grand Cherokee has a nice interior, but its not luxurious honestly, its just nice for what it is. A lot of plastic finishes and "durable" fabrics because its a Jeep, even at the high end of the totem pole.

America is a big place and perception is going to be enormously different from place to place in general, but even in places like Michigan where Cadillac may be the best, not everyone will agree.

Where I live I'd say Mercedes, Tesla, and Lexus are the top with other German brands below them, then all the other luxury brands, then all the normal brands.

Lexus

Tesla

Acura

Lincoln

Genesis

Infinity

Buick

GMC

Jeep

Chrysler

Hummer

No

Lexus, Tesla, Genesis, Acura, Infiniti, Cadillac, Lincoln, Chrysler, Buick.

If you are old or Chinese, you might place Buick above Chrysler and maybe Lincoln. (China loves Buick, which is why it's still around and not buried next to Oldsmobile and Pontiac.)

If you haven't yet realized that the Koreans are exactly where the Japanese were 30 years ago, you may have been sleeping on Genesis and Kia. This is the same way your dad and uncle may have been sleeping on Acura and Lexus in 1991, "thirty grand? for a toyota? nobody will ever pay more for a Japanese car than they will for an American luxury car." Genesis is building the US car market's next LS400, and Kia hired Albert Biermann away from BMW a few years ago which explains why the Stinger is the US car market's next 5-series; he's the guy who made all those BMW M cars worth of the ///M fanboi devotion.

GMC, Jeep, Hummer are trucks, they're not luxury at all, but if you mean "status" there are probably people who have an informed opinion. If they rank Hummer first, then they are time travelers from the year 2004, and you should ask them to go back right away so they can warn Britney.

Rolls Royce and it’s not even close. They are more of a boutique automaker that will truly build whatever you desire-look up all the one-offs they’ve done for people. The price tag reflects it too. You can blow off any of the other brands as “just another car” in most cases, but a Rolls has presence. Even non car people notice a Rolls, just as they would notice a Ferrari or Lamborghini.

1. Rolls Royce (by far)
2. Range Rover
3. Mercedes (not like an A series or basic C series though)
4. BMW (not a normal 2 series or 3/4/5 series)
5. Audi (RS models)
6. Lexus
7. 10 feet of dirt
8. GMC Yukon Denali

I laughed at the Denali. Do people outside of the US actually consider that Luxury?

No one cares

If I had to take a guess on average of the ranking of these status wise it would be:

Rolls Royce

Lane Rover

Mercedes

BMW

Audi

Lexus

Denali

In my mind -

Tier 1 - Rolls Royce

Tier 2 - Bentley / Maybach

Tier 3 - S-Class

Tier 4 - A8 / Lexus LS / BMW 7 series / Genesis / CT6 / JLR / etc

This isn’t subjective, there is a correct answer to this question, and it’s Rolls-Royce.

Bentley suckssss my guy. Not sure if you’ve ever been in one or driven one.

There’s a reason why they depreciate so hard.

Whichever has the highest resale value lol. Rolls Royce I guess. Those cars are money pits.

Mercedes or Audi probably. Not extremely high end to the point where maintenance is absurdly expensive, but still very nice vehicles.

thats weird you did have buick & not bmw as an option. buick is not high end.

If I have to pay for maintenance and repairs, the Buick.

Rolls Royce, Buick is more of a Lexus competitor. I would have had BMW in there instead of Buick.

BMW and Porsche have nothing to do with luxury.

/uj that Estoque is pure sex

Where Saab?

The build cars and draw wings on their logos. Idiots. All of them.

Post 2007 Lancia logos fell off. 1929 and 1974 were B tier, almost A tier in my opinion

Fiat at any time since the 80s had at least 3 variations of its own logo simultaneously, can’t understand the rules or how they navigated that branding mess

It's Citroën, precisely their sub brand. Don't know why they did the swap. Honestly don't want to know.

i only like them on the Mini because you can't read that shit on them otherwise and they all look the fucking same

WHY THE FUCK IS DS IN D TIER?

Volkswagen lower than ford? That’s hilarious. Ford should be no higher than Wack. Absolute garbage cars

What the hell is this in terms of reliability??? And if so how the hell is Hummer in good. Awful car brand. All the luxury/ enthusiast car brands in ass it wack. This is just an awful list.

Why are all the luxury brands in ASS tier

You don’t know rolls Royce?

Good list but Nissan is little better than mid now

Rolls Royce

Maybach with a fulltime driver.

My 2011 vw gti, with only 127k miles 🥰

A 1998 Suzuki Esteem

I think it's Rolls Royce, all the luxury and glamour that you can find in a car
