This would be an example of perception. How it meets ones needs. For the rich, any reliability or maintenance issues are really non issues. They can afford repairs and have a stable of cars to choose from. This could make the Ferrari a very practical car for them. The fit and finish of the car (The things that allow it to do what the Toyota can't) would argue for higher quality than the Toyota.
