I can't think of anyone, can you? Sure there's faster cars per dollar, but they don't have the QC, comfort, or reliability. There are many options that can beat Porsche at one or two of the important factors (weight, agility, power, looks, etc. etc.) for the same price point, but none balance all the things that make a great car as well as they do.

Watches aren't a great analogy in this discussion, the inability of humans to break the laws of physics and a competitive market mean that all cars for the foreseeable future will land within spitting distance of each other, each with their own set of compromises to distinguish themselves.

We're not talking about products with 50% markups to play with like in the watch world.
