There's a huge population of people that buy things for a symbol or brand. LV, Coach, bags is a good example. People buy 4 cylinder MB and BMW's because? They can say they have a MB or a BMW. So if those people are going to pay close to $200k. They rather have Ferrari, Lamborghini's or a Porsche. It's a status symbol thing to them.
Not EVERYONE uses them as a status symbol, but more of the wow factor that they get from everyone with the newest, most exotic cars.
