They are indeed saying that NOW a new Mercedes can be cheap.
Many of them are indeed being built to a price point nowadays. The Mercedes of yesterday were very expensive as they were engineered to high standards and built with great care
That is not necessarily true in the models or the last ten years or more, as surveys attest, the quality has gone way down

Jim, they may be building a Benz for every pocketbook (well, almost) but you still have to dish out the big bucks for the top of the line Benzes.
My 1989 300TE cost $48k new (only option was the third row seat, everything else is/was standard equipment).
How much is that in 2006 dollars?
