as someone from the country where porsche is native and where it owns their own political party…
owning a porsche is one of the clearest signs one can send that they are a massive asshole lol
There a similar effect with Mercedes in the US: they mainly export their high-end cars here, not their economy cars. Therefore Americans associate the entire brand with rich assholes. It’s true enough within the US, but may not hold outside it.

That’s true in other countries too. Or a bmw.
bmw is like every fourth car here. you can joke they come without turn signals but its just a run of the mill car brand for all kinds of people
only a certain kind of personality gets a porsche

That tracks in America too, but a better example here is pickup trucks.
