Also, Peter at ERA mentioned that fairly recently (1-2 years ago) ERA upped the quality of its carpet.

So my question is: How does the quality and look of fairly recent ERA nylon carpet compare to what you would see in something like a Benz, BMW, or Ferrari? Any input is appreciated very much.

BMW, Benz, some porsches use German Velour. German Velour is a wool blend, very tight weave, 1/4" pile. IMHO the Wilton and the Velour are very close. As I said before, I had Wilton Wool previously and prefered the German Velour. I'm not familiar with ERA nylon, but comparing it to Wilton would be similar to comparing it to Benz carpet IMHO.
