LEXUS vs. MERCEDES vs BMW

[gail.s]

Hi guys! Im an advertising major from DLSU and I'm currently having my thesis regarding Lexus brand. I would just like to ask everybody's opinion on Lexus, and if there are Lexus owners out there would it be possible for us to send our survey to your email? It would really help us in making an advertising campaign for Lexus for our thesis.

Thanks!

Hi! I just want to ask your opinion regarding these three luxury car brands. Which do you think is the best brand and why? And what's the first most important thing for you when buying a car? Thank you!

What? Mercedes versus Benz? Mercedes-Benz versus BMW siguro ibigsabihin niyo? Ano bang model mismong hinahanap niyo? Yung bago ba o luma? Generally, BMW has the best performance, Mercedes-Benz is the most luxurious, and Lexus is the most economical to maintain (being a Toyota at heart ). Can you elaborate more on your question so we can help you further?

BMW.

I mean, if given a chance na kayo bibili ng car, ano mas pipiliin nyo dun sa 3. or ano ung top 3 choices mo sa luxury cars including other luxury cars like audi, volvo? Do you know ba why people usually buy BMW or Mercedes or Audi over Lexus?

Thanks so much!

Not even going to consider other brands like the following?

-Audi
-Jaguar
-Volvo

Hi! Also considering those brands. I just put BMW and Mercedes because these are the popular luxury brands. I just want to know your opinion regarding these brands. Thank you!

Lexus is just Toyota's luxury/performance division and they most certainly do not have the heritage and brand panache of the European brands. In fact I respect Nissan's Infiniti and Honda's Acura more. If I had such outrageous amounts of money and were going to add cars to my garage, I'd stay away from the "generic" BMW and Mercedes and go for Audi instead. I really do like Audi's design and they are really catching up to BMW and Mercedes. Admittedly, I am not a fan of Volvo's current design language. I find it too wild to be elegant.

Thanks so much for this! Really helps me a lot!

Too bad that you don't like Volvo... I was able to test drive the S60-T6 last year and the S60-T4 and S60-T5 a couple of weeks ago and they are superb cars if you are in the market for a personal-driven European luxury sedan. The T6 has the power and handling that might rival a Mitsu EVO but with the luxury matching any current BMW 3 series.

The lesser T4 and T5 have less power and a bit less toys than the T6 model but even the lowest T4 with it's 1.6L turbo engine, has more than enough grunt to make anyone smile when you floor the gas pedal.

I just want to ask, for you what would be Lexus' strength over other brands?

What is your criteria as "being the best"? image? ride quality? performance? value for money? maintenance? long term durability?

Given we are choosing among luxury cars, practicality is not even considered. This is where your personal preferences lead you where you want to go, only limited by the few million pesos budget you have to buy one.

If you want the feel of luxury, you might want to go with the Merc or Jaguar.

If you want the feel of a performance sports sedan, then BMW or even AUDI would be your choice.

Safety and even value for money, you can look at Volvo.

As for Lexus, I still feel their cars have a long way to go before they can claim they are of similar caliber as a Merc, bmw, etc. A simple test drive in their line of "luxury" sedans would already give you the picture that their cars lack in either interior space, ride quality, performance, refinement or a combination of all four items.

Hi. Thanks for this answer! The best siguro in such a way na you feel more satisfied after you bought it. Over-all customer satisfaction. So you don't consider Lexus as a luxury brand na same level with others?

No. I would consider it much lower even if the price says otherwise. Take more than just an expensive showroom, big price tag and leather covered seats to make great luxury car.

Thanks for this!! So years and history in the country are important things in making a great luxury car?

If your friend needs a bigger car, then lexus nx. But I would get the hybrid. Konti lang difference compared to the F sport model.

Kung CLA, I would get the CLA 45 AMG kung kaya.

Audi Q2/Q3 okay din.

We have both bmw and mb, i'd pick the mb anyday. It has a much better build quality and it feels more solid. To those saying bmw has a better performance i'd say any current amg will out run any bmw's M series. BMW's interior looks nice though, has more toys to play with and more hi-tech compared to mb's plain and simple interior.
