Ferrari does that too regularly with their most exclusive models, and yes they are snobbish jerks but at least they earned it via decades of dominance in motorsports, formula 1, and supercar scene. Lexus is what? Just a company created about 20 years ago to make nothing more than rebadged toyotas with a few extra luxury items inside and a huge markup in price just to jack up toyota's profit.
amen brother. They need to earn there respect and prices first. I know I wouldn't walk into a room and say "Screw all of you I am king now". They will realize this when their numbers wont produce. The thing is most of these mulit-millionaires/billionaires actually will be turned off not by the car but by the company's lack of respect and achievements. A few will buy them but I think most will say " Hey get in the back of the line rookie"
