Lexus is apparently more reliable, not too much, but just enough. The most important thing when deciding between any two vehicles should always be safety, both passive and active. In this case though, it seems that both cars show similar levels of passenger protection all together, so that won't break a tie. But one thing that actually could is the performance, with Lexus offering somewhat better performance, just enough to call it quicker. It does come at a cost though, and that's the fuel consumption... It's not difficult to say then that if I'd need to make a choice, it would definitely be the Audi. Anyway, that's the most objective conclusion

what charm did benz use on people? The most expensive car is not a benz, the most reliable car is not a benz, the most luxurious car is not a benz, the fastest car is not a benz, the most beautiful car is not a benz? Why then do people act like benz is aston martin or rolls royce or lambo?

Actually, no.

E Class competes with GS.
C Class competes with IS.
S Class competes with LS.

ES is a fancy Camry for lower management staff.

Good marketing.
Great heritage.

Also helps that Mercedes Benz actually makes great cars, though. Not the best at anything but great at most things.

if ES had any competition in the Mercedes lineup, it is still the E class. Lexus makes two midsize sedans. The GS and the ES, the GS is the better of the two so it generally represents lexus in the midsize category. But it doesn’t mean that the ES is reduced to a C class or IS competition. Naaaa!

I just told you what the ES is. It's in no way an E Class competitor. A fancy Camry is exactly what it is.

There's a reason why it's the FWD sedan that doesn't use the 2GR-FSE.

it is an e class competitor. The es is not a fancy camry. The es is too upscale for a camry. If you say Avalon, I may take you more seriously. The es cannot be a fancy camry when even avalons with “limited” trim still don’t match the es.

every auto maker competes with eachoda. Benz competes with lexus, acura, bmw, lincoln, porshe, audi, tesla, cadilac, e.t.c as luxury brands
Same way Honda competes with mazda, ford, Chrysler, Toyota, Nissan, volkswagen, as mainstream brands. They all compete.

That's funny. Let's compare 0-60 numbers.
Audi Rs5: 3.7s
AMG C63s: 3.7s

Both are equal stock, even though the Merc has way more torque and power. The Audi is also far more tunable, though.


Audi RS6: 3.6s
E63s: 3.0s

E63s is faster.

Mercedes' fastest car is the AMG Gt63s doing 0-60 in 2.9s.
Audi's fastest car is the R8 V10 Plus, 0-60 in 2.6s.

I have no idea how Mercedes-AMG is somehow better than Audi's performance arm.
I was about to mention the R8. Merv hasn't beat that R8 yet.

And it won't, seeing as the R8 is just a cheaper Lamborghini Huracan. Shame Audi is about to cancel it, though.

Rule 2,


Anyways, Audi cars are more complex. In Most Audi Cars, mechanics have little space to work on almost any fault part on the engine bay and this resorts to removing bumpers, lights, radiator/condenser etc and this lead to high cost of maintenance.

Both are nice. But Audis makes you stand out more. Cos only a car enthusiast can go for an audi or a bmw.

Audis also have a more futuristic (high-tech) appearance as well. Using an audi car makes you feel like you’re the boss in a sci-fi movie
That's when its new. If u jam Audi wahala once. U will port to Benz. Ease of Maintenance is what makes a car standout..
