I was making a general observation, but I suppose it mostly resonates among the general population and less so amongst other car enthusiasts... Any maybe that's why it's turned in to a bit of a debate - we (as enthusiasts) know more about the car and can see past the badge on the hood.
I cannot agree that Porsche (as a brand only) has more prestige than Bentley, regardless of how often "most people" think of Bentley.
Maserati is actually a great example - the brand is perceived as very high end by the general public (maybe even 'exotic'?), despite the fact that everyone participating in this thread knows better
