I suppose you could say the same about all brands.

People settle for a 128i because they can't get a __________.

People settle for a 328i because they can't get a __________.

People settle for the A4 because they can't get a __________.

Etc., etc..

All mfgs are expanding their lines to fit all demographics and all consumer desires. Merc also make the A and B models. Do people buy them because they're making a compromise and can't get an E Class, or maybe because they want a B Class?

fwiw, my neighbor is filthy rich and his huge house overlooks the Pacific. He drives a C Class. He didn't "settle" for one, he just wanted a small decent car. He spends his money elsewhere.
