Mercedes is doing exactly what they need to. Killing the Maybach and moving the S class up market, well way up market in the past couple of years if you look at the prices. You used to be able to get a new S class for under $90k, now its $100k+ out the door.
Actually except for the C-Class, the other models have gotten up to the "first home mortgage" MSRP!

A few years ago I could stroll the showroom and realistically select a model that could possibly grace one of my garage bays...not anymore!
