| OK what's so great about Mercedes, BMW and Audi and why are they worth the price? |

| Clearly you've never owned one. Sorry. |

Yes, I'm obviously missing out. |

Toyota and Honda drivers = peasants
BMW, Mercedes and Audi drivers = superior beings |

| Just go drive one or read one of the many, many reviews of the cars. They are far superior. |

| Totally worth it for the free drinks and snacks in the lounge while your car is being serviced. |

| I think BMW drivers are d-bags (as a rule - my ex-husband had one and I should have followed my intuition lol), but riding in them is a fantastic experience. Minus having to talk to a d-bag. |

Go drive an E63, a C63 or Porsche Cayenne Turbo S, and then report back!

I don't know, Audi is in between. It's a step down from Mercedes. BMW has cheapened their brand so much with the 3 series for everyone and now the 1 series. If that's all you can afford, just get a Honda. I have the GLS 450, and it's such a nice car. Not plasticy, great pickup, smooth and quiet. It's luxurious. |

| What about other "luxury" brands that are less expensive--such as Lexus, Acura, Infiniti, etc.? |

By your logic Mercedes is guilty of the same thing by selling the $35k CLA and $40k C class. I think you merely pretend to drive a GLS on the internet as the interior *is* mostly plastic, and it's the holy-grail soccer mom mobile on a site where everyone's stated HHI is their real HHI inflated by 150% to 400%. |

| If you shop around and go with someone who knows what they are doing, you can get a decent used one for a reasonable price. |

Exactly, I don't have time to be in the service shop as often as you are with the German brands, there's a reason they have free snacks and drinks, you are there often But if you have money for extra cars, and staff to take it to service, then they are well worth the fun of driving |

| I had a Mercedes as a rental once and it was really nice. I can't afford to own one, but I did notice a difference between driving the Mercedes and driving my Subaru or Honda. |
