In Canada, Amex does provide the best "premium" card. Let's hope that they even up the ante higher and give some Star Alliance status...
I do agree with markandrew that Amex is marketed towards the higher income bracket.
I am hoping for the Star Alliance status too. The new premium card has some new features that we do not know yet.
