Yes, that's the way I saw it too. It is highly stereotypical though, but that's how I also see it in real life. I honestly didn't mean to offend anyone.
I went to Vietnam a few years back and the market was dominated by Honda's even though they had a Mercedes manufacturing plant there.
They're popular here as well because of the brand association back home, which is why the Legend would appeal to them. To others, the allure of the BMW/Mercedes badge leads them to purchasing C200s/320i's. The badge status shows that you're successful, that would be boosted by paying a few grand extra for the plates: 888888888. It doesn't matter if you drive a 7 series or S class, as long as you have the badge.
Though race doesn't play a large role in choosing the brand of car you drive, it certainly does have an influence.
EDIT:
Keep editing this post as I see that people take comments here more seriously here than at Whirlpool.
