How Mercedes-Benz Is Losing Its Prestige Image

[88m3]

S Class ain't base model, it's always been top of the line. I could never own one though, it's not a driver's car imo.

Now I could own an Audi S8 like a transporter

Yeah but now a days it's pretty meh especially in the city and not a drivers car for sure


A neighbor has an S8, sharp car, and much more rare

Shows you why Porsche>>>

Not everyone has them and the brand separates itself. Anyone can get a base model bmw or Mercedes that’s the same cost as a specced Camry.

Infiniti/Nissan has been slowly loosing market share for a minute now.

I don’t get your post. You didn’t know Lexus, Volvo and Infiniti were luxury vehicles

Infiniti is def luxury if you are comparing it to other Japanese products. Lexus, Acura and Infiniti are def a level higher than their brothers Honda and Nissan.

I'm saying what I'm saying. I don't think either of those brands are the same "luxury" category as the rest listed out.

why don't you consider it though and when it always was. Seems like a personal preference than facts.

Lexus is luxury and up there with BMW & Audi. You might not think it, but the quality is there. Infiniti sucks ass luxury wise. Volvo I don't know much about.

Luxury Car Sales 2020: Mercedes-Benz Fell All The Way To Third

Germany rules the roost, but Japan is now second.
With the first full week of 2021 nearly behind us, fourth-quarter and annual sales figures from nearly every automaker are now in. We've already looked at the top-20 best-selling vehicles in America, not to mention the eternal Mustang-Challenger-Camaro sales battle and the top trucks. Now, here's a look at the more upscale side of the auto business, focusing on luxury brands.

Once again, BMW held strong as the most popular luxury automaker in America with 278,732 sales for the year. The X3 led BMW's charge with 59,941 units sold, but the manufacturer still ended the year down 17.5 percent. German rival Mercedes-Benz didn't experience quite as bad a decline at 13 percent, but a total of 274,916 sales wasn't enough to beat BMW. SUVs also rule the roost at Mercedes, with the GLC-Class taking top honors at 52,626 units sold. It must be noted that total Mercedes sales do not include the Sprinter, which is often sold as a commercial work vehicle.

However, Mercedes wasn't second to BMW. That honor actually goes to Lexus, which barely passed Merc at 275,041 sales. That's a difference of just 125, and Lexus also had a better year than both German companies percentage-wise, showing a drop of 7.7 percent. Credit goes to the Lexus RX which managed to clock 101,059 sales for the year, nearly as much as the best-selling models from Mercedes and BMW combined.

Manufacturer 2020 Sales & Year-Over-Year Percentage:

1.BMW - 278,732 (-17.5%)
2.Lexus - 275,041 (-7.7%)
3.Mercedes-Benz - 274,916* (-13%)
4.Audi - 186,620 (-17%)
5.Cadillac - 129,495 (-17.1%)
6.Volvo - 110,120 - (+1.8%)
7.Lincoln 105,410 - (-6.1%)
8.Infiniti - 79,502 - (-32.5%)
9.Porsche - 57,294 (-7%)

Yeah I was looking at used 911 Turbos, specifically the 997. I never looked at Porsche, but I may cope on some day. Or a Viper
