Only JCrew is in a commodity market. Lexus is really more like Apple. While made by Toyota it generally have very different designs, for example the LS460. AMC TV is clearly not a commodity at all, even less so than Apple.

JCrew is clearly in a commodity market, but they're not exactly upscale. I'd consider them the $800 laptop. Not Walmart/Netbook, but certainly not expensive. And there are expensive clothing manufacturers, but there's a reason why Gap sells hundreds of millions in jeans, while $500 designer jean brands come and go like the wind.
