Nothing pretentious about it at all. Typical American jealousy and illogical thinking!
I think your missing the posters point. No one said it's not a nice car. However its not really what's needed to get between airport gates. However certain HVC would object if something less came take them from gate A to gate B, thus Porsches are what are used. No one is refusing to use it because it's a Porsche. Simply stating it's overkill. Heck no one is even going to see you use the thing most likely.
