Why BMW And Mercedes Made Cheap Cars That Failed

[Responsible Allen Iverson]

The problem is that these auto makers need to stop making "budget cars" is reliability. Most people that they pull in to buy those type of cars still can't afford the upkeep.

The reason why they failed in my honest opinion was because they were the size of go carts


I remember when the CLA first came out. My body legit could not get in the back and is struggled for me to get in the drivers seat. Only seat I can sit in was the passenger seat at the front.


Walked out of the dealership immediately

At the end of the day, when you buy a Benz or BMW, you’re buying the status. That status is luxury and opulence.

cheap and budget are words that don’t correlate with luxury and opulence.

You were seriously contemplating a CLA?Why do you think there's so many used ones for $25,000?


I'll buy a fully loaded Camry before I buy a basic ass CLA. If you want a Mercedes-Benz you need the C class minimum, but the big boy don't start till you hit the E Class.


The CLA is also cheap as hell interior wise

breh even a “loaded” CLA and those bullshyt 43 “AMG” cars are certified trash. A lot of chicks rolls around in CLA because it’s technically a Benz but so is a Metris and those ride like a severely used UHaul van.

anyone touching a CLA is out of their damn mind and better off getting an Accord touring model with all the bells and whistles. CLA is cramped inside, zero back seat and trunk space, plastics everywhere with the damn bootleg mini iPad stuck to the dash along with those big ass circular vents in the middle.

$30k starting price is already sniffing at a Model 3, which will have superior tech that’s at least somewhat future proof. C Class is ehh, along with most of the Benz lineup these days and you gotta be in the CLS range to start seeing the quality shyt.

I say the same thing. I won’t go for anything below an E class and honestly the fully
Loaded V6 Camry SE is a nice ass vehicle and fly as fukk.

@BigMoneyGrip what are those 43 AMG cars I see all over the place? Is it just a badge or has a legit engine?

Breh those 43 AMGs are just for show and aren’t even hand built like a V12 or V8 AMG.

MB is trying to make some extra $ off of the AMG badge and people stepping into a lil CLA don’t know any better and will pay.

these bootleg AMG models up and down the lineup are diluting the hell out of the brand but I guess a sale is a sale at the end of the day.

someone by my job has a GLE 43 AMG. It has quad exhaust nice times with red brake calipers. It almost fooled me cause I thought it was a legit AMG with just less HP than a 63 AMG

those 43 AMGs are “tuned” to AMG specs and prolly got some AMG genes but people have always been able to buy AMG wheels and accessories and even bootleg badges.

MB is filling gaps in the lineup with these “AMG” cars so there’s something for everyone who is willing to pay for some AMG badges and stitching in the interior. But you’re probably getting 380HP out of a GLE43. A GV80 is pushing out 375HP by comparison and you prolly get more stuff standard

8 series is the same shyt, they just increased the number to move it up the lineup hierarchy and charge more. And they made it actually compete with the Sclass coupe, but MB killed it off lol.

Yeah the 8 is significantly larger and carries the pedigree of the old 8 with how they tuned its power train lineups.
