Germany. Some of the cars that you have listed are more sports cars/super cars. Lamborghini, Ferrari, Aston Martin has pulled away from Ford so they are coming back. Saab and Volvo are more of a commuter/practical car.
Lexus, Acura, Infiniti, are probably some of the newest entries into luxury, Acura-Honda Infiniti-Nissan Lexus-Toyota. I would give them time before they come close to Audi, Mercedes, BMW, Porsche, and Mayback, In Luxury terms. The only Lexus that is pure Luxury is the LS. The IS is more sporty than luxury, and the GS is in between.
I'm leaving the United States out of this, because Cadillac and Lincoln have taken Luxury to outer space. The CTS looks like someone cut it down the middle and put it back together, in other words TO many angles.
United Kingdom does have some very nice cars with the Jag, Rolls, and Bentley. Lotus? that car doesn't even have air conditioning and apparently they are putting Honda engines in them, so its anything but luxury.
Italy has very nice cars, but their luxury cars don't cut it for me. If your going Italian Your going BIG with a Ferrari, Lambo or a Maserati.
Germany wins. You forgot VW they do have the Phaeton which is an amazing car. Mercedes Benz, BMW, Audi, Porsche, Maybach, and VW all have a luxury class. If you don't agree with the Porsche, Go test drive a 911 Carrera.
