In California it goes like this

Low tier retards in the cheap models, older wealthy techie people, mostly White and Indian in A6 and above models, vapid women in the crossovers

>Mercedes
Mostly upper middle class families of pretty much every ethnicity drive these here. They're like the Toyota of families making $100,000+ per year in California. Too broad of a spectrum to really nail down a specific demographic besides income.

>BMW
Chinese lawyers, business owners and doctors drive 6 and 7 series, upper middle class Mexican, Armenian, Persian, Korean and White men drive 3, 4 and 5 series, and women drive the crossovers. I also know 4 different Native American/Mexican women that drive 5 series, two G30 5 series one a hybrid and one a V8, another that has a diesel F10 and one drives an E39 wagon, but I think that's a stereotype solely confined to my area, since I live near where a lot of Tongva live. Two of them are lesbians so I guess 5 series are Subarus for chugs.

Audi and Mercedes have been losing a lot of their buyers to Tesla though it seems, and a lot of that I suspect more will be going to Lucid and Lincoln in the future too.

Cassos (French word for uneducated people)

They live in a commieblock, but put 33% of their salary / welfare in a premium car. Note that it is also always a German car (BMW, Mercedes and sometimes Audi), you will never see those cassos with a premium Japanese car like a Lexus which is drives by rich people.

If you want a comfortable, fast, stable touring car Mercedes is still the way to go. The other German brands can't compare. Alfa is more for pure fun.

Bizarrely the Genesis, Jaguar and Lincoln are the only automakers that have managed to make cars as comfy as Mercedes, but with Lincoln you have to either get that comfort in an oversized SUV or a FWD based overgrown Fusion/Mondeo behemoth.

Porsche is on a higher level desu.

The big 3 German mainstay brands are accessible to common family peeps in the US. One of my friends who works in the auto industry says however that Porsche is planning a medium sized sedan to sit below the Panamera that will cost the same as a 5 series and is planning on building it in Mexico and China, so that vehicle may drag Porsche down to the common folk brand level.

But yeah it is very comfortable and actually pretty big on the inside, although the leather makes it a bit annoying in the summer

The number of times I've seen Cayennes with gas installations is ridiculous.

>Panamera that will cost the same as a 5 series and is planning on building it in Mexico and China, so that vehicle may drag Porsche down to the common folk brand level.

People said the same about the Cayenne and it ended up being a huge success and Porsche still maintained it's "god" status. It actually saved the company and now we get to see very cool stuff like GT2RS's and Cayman GT4's.

Genesis doesn't sell cars in most of Europe yet, but they're set to launch next year in much of the EU I believe. Basically think of them as having the conservatism of 80s/90s Mercedes but with BMW handling. Lincoln is Fords luxury brand, they've never had an official European dealer network but supposedly they're going to try to launch in Europe in the early 2020s once they have hybrid variants of all their models available. They're by far the best American brand regarding built quality. Legitimately on the same level as Mercedes since the last two years, and they're less expensive. I believe Ford has even stated that many of their vehicles are sold at a loss since they're more concerned with attracting buyers long term who will buy their high profit halo models long term in the future, like what Mercedes did in the 80s and 90s. They're also going to get two sedans based on the Mustang in the future so that should be interesting.

Seriously, spending EUR 100k on a car is insane. And no, in Austria you don't earn 50k/yr on average, so you can ACTUALLY afford it.

Uhm I don't know, American cars always struggled here
I see some Fords around but that's it

gypsies or turks, id put money on it

>Seriously, spending EUR 100k on a car is insane.

Seriously? The cars in OPs pic are way cheaper than that.

A base A6, gasoline I4 starts at $48,000, a gas C300 starts at $38,000 and a gas $320i starts at $35,000.

Everybody. They're all among the best selling brands in Sweden

Why is the 5 series so cheap in Sweden? People always comment about how cheap German cars are in Noth America but in California the cheapest 5 series is the 530e hybrid at $48,000 and in Mexico the cheapest place I know of for BMW products a 530i is still $45,500.

Assholes. Except for Mercedes, half of those are driven by wealthy old people.

Thing with mercedes is, you're not gonna get what you expect. Unless it's E or S class, mercedes is pretty shit bellow those.
Bmw is better in that regard imo, they're pretty consistent no matter which one you buy you are sure to get the bmw quality and experience.

American base models start at a higher base trim and base engine. We get 2 liter diesels and taxi trims in the base model.

Honestly I don't see American cars being successful here, the market js way too saturated (except Tesla)

Which is a shame, some of those sound good, and German car makers could use some fierce competition to get off their high horse

>bmw quality and experience
I.e. it breaks all the time and is expensive to fix. I have a colleague that I respect otherwise, but his BMW was in the shop constantly, and he recently did something incredibly stupid and traded it for another BMW.

There's a literal cult of BMWs around these parts. People who can afford them often choose them despite the high price (we have tariffs on non-Russian cars)

Surprised to see an interior that's not complete shit in an American car. One of the things that have always driven people away in the past. And nowadays they're not even excessively large anymore and the engines are shrinking. Still though, the market for people who want an S-Class sized car that doesn't cost as much as an S-Class seems rather small to me. People on Europe tend to get E-Classes if they can't afford an S-Class because it's still got the more desirable badge and being smaller actually makes it more practical.

The N42 is simply a goat engine

My uncle is a mechanic, these are just his words passed on. It's not a fact but a general observation of his, BMW are more consistent. What he means is things he looks at after 5-7 years does the car have any rost bellow, weird design choices, motor standard build and with high tier brands things like sound isolation, how it lies on the road and such, again just his gathered impressions

delet this before an n42 destroys its valve seals or needs a new timing chain

>Honestly I don't see American cars being successful here, the market js way too saturated (except Tesla)

I actually think that Lincoln will be the first big American brand to succeed apart from Tesla. They have some insanely good hybrid gasoline-electric vehicles. The Lincoln Aviator makes 450hp (335kw) and 600lb.ft (813nm) for $49,000.

That's an absurd amount of power for a vehicle at that price even by American standards so I think in Europe it will be even more outstanding. Lincoln is just a subsidiary of Ford so it will be extremely easy for them to set up dealerships in the EU. The Mustang has been succesful and Lincoln is planning on developing a luxury coupe from the Mustang and two sedans based on it as well soon too, so I think they'll also be very successful in Europe considering they'll also offer hybrid-electric variants in addition to innexpensive V8 versions.

had a 318i with a m54b25 swap

Its not about bhp
What do you need 500bhp for if you can only do 120 in most European countries anyway? Not to talk of city speed limits

Also look at the size of that thing, you will not find a single parking spot in the supermarket with this

I guarantee you now this car will never sell more than a couple hundred pieces here

hey was my first car

I'm sure BMWs drive well and have good interiors, but my anecdotic argument is that they're unreliable. Colleague had his timing chain fuck up, the shop taking several attempts to fix it, and then having to fight them to get it covered by the warranty.

Yeah but what are you going to do with 450 hp? What's the point of this much power other than to lower your average mpg? And is it as stable and well controlled at 155 mph as German SUVs? And how god-awful is it to find a parking space for an American SUV?

>Surprised to see an interior that's not complete shit in an American car.
>People on Europe tend to get E-Classes if they can't afford an S-Class because it's still got the more desirable badge and being smaller actually makes it more practical.

I actually kind of think that's why the stereotype about American cars having shitty interiors is a thing in Europe. High end American cars haven't really ever been sold in Europe in large numbers, and we typically have only exported our shitty brands to the EU to undercut VW and Fiat. American cars that cost similar money to European marques typically have interiors at a similar quality level. But Europeans seem to care very much about the badge and brand and won't buy an expensive American car. That's the same reason why luxury Korean brand struggle in the US. This is a $50,000 Ram (Chrysler-Dodge) truck, and it's interior quality is about the same as a $50,000 BMW.

This wildly varies on where you live here. Flyovers are like 80% pickups and old Japanese cars, big cities are mostly all luxury foreign and some american luxuries. I live in a rural part of the country so I guess that the car did stick out a little bit lol

2009 Toyota Auris. For the Americans among us that's our hatchback version of the Corolla, about the size of a VW Golf. Surface rust is plentiful by now, but it's spot-on reliable and has never needed anything other than wear parts replaced.

>skyrocketing the already expensive to maintain bmw by swapping the engine
great fucking idea

as a bmw enthusiast I will admit BMW has made some shitty engine mistaked over the years mostly valve seals, timing chain and coolant system related

No, that $50,000 Ram is a glorified workman's truck with giant cheap slabs of plastic on the inside, coated in some wood stickers and leather to make it look luxurious. It is quite literally a pig with lipstick. There's little else about cars that I hate more than the American pretense that pickup trucks can be luxurious.

>expensive
good meme
parts do not cost any more than for my hilux
if you cant set aside 50 euro a month every month for maintenance you shouldn't own a car

Fair enough man, I myself wouldn never go for either of the 3, just too autistic to pay that sort of money for swagger brands but they leading the market os you have to have an oppinion you get me

I'm happy with 115bhp though, ots enough for me
Besides I had to change a ton of parts the last months, that was expensive enough

the hilux doesn't break.
it's a toyota.

bmw on the other hand...

Lincolns actually do handle very well at high speed, they're directly benched against Mercedes and BMW products.

The parking issue is something that American firms haven't until recently addressed for the EU market. This is actually smaller than the Tesla Model S which as had no hardship finding buyers though so I think it may do okay in Europe. Also, Lincoln is very popular in Mexico and Mexico has small Spanish colonial roads in many of it's older cities, and some roads built by the Aztec and Maya in a few cities and they still manage to drive big American SUVs and trucks in these cities. The big Dodge/Ram/FCA trucks are made in Mexico.
