Everywhere else in the world, BMW, MB, Audi sell a huge range of vehicles. I don't have any problems with them doing the same here in the USA. As has already been said, people over the rest of the world don't have a problem with a very expensive car sitting next to an inexpensive one in a showroom. I don't buy a vehicle to one-up my neighbor...I buy one because it fits my needs. I could care less what others think about it. If you've got lots of expendable income, and want to get noticed, buy something like a Bently, or for a little more flare, maybe a Lambo, both of which have needed to be bailed out because of market swings and issues, that, bar GM and Chrysler who were making crappy cars, most other big car companies cater to a much larger market range. People screamed bloody murder when Porsche came out with their suv, and their lower end cars...long live the 911 - to the 'purists', that is the only model they should have ever made...if they did, they'd be out of business now.
The goal should be good quality and as long as you can maintain that, why not bring it to more people with different needs and expectations.
