Good points. And it seems Mercedes aims to fix that by going further down-market. Im not sure its such a good idea.
#1198 of 3068 Now that's not fair! by callmedrfill Jan 29, 2005 (8:45 am)
Nobody would buy a S430 for $75k after sitting in an LS for $55k!      That's no competition!      Did you guys check out Mercedes "market adjusted" prices for 2005, effective 2/1/05?      Maybach starts at $325k    SL starts at $91k+    E-Class: $48k (V8 about $57k)         They have a ways to go if they wanna "Get Down"!         DrFill
#1199 of 3068 Pricing by sorter Jan 29, 2005 (10:27 am)
So the GS will be price at about $43K V6, and $45K V6 AWD?
#1200 of 3068 Uncle....lol! by merc1 Jan 29, 2005 (11:11 am)
You guys are right. Price means nothing, 20K difference there, 10K here and 30K difference there for similar models, doesn't matter because everyone can afford to just buy what they want, regardless of price. I'm going to see about getting a S430, A8L or 745Li for a 55K base price, or SL500 for 63K. Lawd help us if BMW and Mercedes sell their sub 30K 1-Series and B-Class in any great numbers because you'll definitely hear about how price matters then if BMW and Mercedes pass the mighty Lexus in sales.   M Replies to this message: sorter (Jan 29, 2005 5:34 pm) merc1 (Feb 10, 2005 2:05 am) maxhonda99 (Jan 31, 2005 7:41 am)

Replying to: merc1 (Jan 29, 2005 11:11 am) Maybe with Mini and Smart, Benz or BMW has a chance. Isn't that like Lexus counting Scion ?
#1202 of 3068 Well said, sort! by callmedrfill Jan 29, 2005 (7:15 pm)
That wouldn't be the first time the Germans have acted like Desperate Housewives!      DrFill

I'm not worried about a $22K BMW or Benz passing Lexus in sales. What I would be worried about if I were a Benz or BMW fan (which Im not) is my precious hood ornament on cars that compete with a TSX, or worse, Mazdas and Hondas. How does that look when it still takes $30+ to get into the most entry Lexus?

"What I would be worried about if I were a Benz or BMW fan (which Im not) is my precious hood ornament on cars that compete with a TSX, or worse, Mazdas and Hondas. How does that look when it still takes $30+ to get into the most entry Lexus?   I guess they same way it looks when you have to pay at least 70K to get into a S, CL, SL Benz, past the top price of any Japanese luxury car. If the Germans aren't at a sales disadvantage at the high end then its Lexus' own fault if they choose not compete any lower in the market. Since price doesn't matter luxury brands should be able to compete in any segment of the market, right?   sorter,   Mini and Smart have nothing to do anything, only luxury-brand-badge vehicles.   M
#1205 of 3068 Mercedes vs. Lexus by jfz Jan 30, 2005 (6:42 am)
The resent messages about the superiority of Mercedes versus Lexus and vice versa amount to nothing more than a pig-kissing contest--the winner still kisses a pig. I suggest that the participants in this discussion find a more appropriate forum and restrict this forum to the discussion of the 2006 Lexus GS.
