How luxurious, prestigious, and exclusive are you when everyone on the block has your product because you are catering to those who normally could not afford or wouldn't want it?


Nothing good has EVER come from a car maker chasing after that great #1 spot in sales. Don't believe me, look at GM, Toyota, and VW.

In theory, yes but the maths don't add up. BMW, Mercedes, and Audi are still exclusive brands.

The total Global Auto Market was about 83 million vehicles sold. These three brands are about 5.6% of the total market and that includes the entry-level cars like the 2 and 3 series lines.
