i think your post is a valid one, but your missing a key point... most people who buy a luxury car, are older, or more conservative, or more settled. Reason why this is so, is because if you got 80gs to spend or more, you could get a top lux or a top sports.
I'd say 80% + of the people who buy a performace car, uses that performance which means the cars are ridden ALOT harder. I'd say that at least 40% or more of sports car owners actually abuse thier cars with redlines, and just abusive driving.
I have no scientific information backing me up, but IMHO i think that the only reason performance cars show lower reliability is because of driver influence and not vehicle quality.
however there are exceptions i know, my uncles brand new corvette had the REAR AXLE FALL OFF over railroad tracks....
