maynation:

Lol.
I haven't seen any that has those specs but s/he may be saying the truth sha.

DownChelsea:


You have missed the drift.

Everything was clear from the onset.

Toyota as a company is more bluechip than mercedes . Fact!
Toyota makes mainstream(toyota), luxury(lexus) and ultra luxury(century). Fact.
The difference between toyota mainstream cars and the lexus cars are too evident in every category of class, luxury and refinement. Fact

Nobody would compare mercedes to toyota(I mean the normal toyota mainstream cars) fact.

Lexus had put every player in the luxury business on its toes. Fact

Lexus cars are obviously not toyota(mainstream cars) in disguise. Fact

Literally understanding the topic of this thread would always result in an answer that favours the toyota company. Fact

You have misunderstood the facts. Fact

You have refused to listen and learn. Fact.

A lexus car, similarly priced with a mercedes car would offer options that the mercedes car could only dream of... fact

Even Lexus can't even be compared to Benz to an extent because in Benz their reputation precede them ....

Here Toyota is sn Uber car ! It's s car for the masses not a bucket market car like Benz

DownChelsea:
sorry to disappoint you.

Even when mercedes cars are being made, the engineers know they have lexus, bmw, volvo, audi, lincoln, cadilac, tesla and other luxury brands to compete with.

DownChelsea:
would you do your business with something as unreliable as mercedes benz?

Only a fool would

yungboss:

Lexus was built to compete in the luxury market, Mercedes being the benchmark. Mercedes is still ahead of lexus, I think there's no questioning that. Mercedes does it with finesse of performance. No matter how appointed the lexus is, its still viewed as an offshoot of Toyota. For example, the Rx300 and the 1st gen Highlander share about the same 3litre engine. Mercedes, Audi, BMW, Porsche are in the same category, from Germany too. Lexus is from a background with a different philosophy from the companies mentioned. Lexus is without a doubt very excellent.
I think the first lexus was built in 1989 but before then Mercedes, BMW, Porsche, Audi and some other European automobile companies had already made a strong mark in the business. It's okay if lexus is trying to snatch off top spots, but the truth is, it will be difficult.
Ask yourself this, what lexus sedan stands today to knock the 2019 s65 amg (v12 biturbo) off that spot, in terms of luxury & performance in one package? Even the s63? Lexus has that reliability edge no doubt, but alot of folks who drive those automobiles do not give so much thoughts towards reliability, for the fact that they are wealthy, they do it for prestige...

the lexus es is the on par with the 5series(not in price oo) but in class.

BUT.

Actually the 5series doesn’t look at the es, it looks at the gs instead.

It’s the gs that the 5series and e class see as their main competition

DownChelsea:
thank God you have agreed with alot of my key points in this write up.


Back to the topic of this thread. Let me ask you personally. Considering what you know about the “TWO COMPANIES”.

In Toyota and Mercedes, which is a “BETTER COMPANY”?

yungboss:


Difficult to give a rounded, all-inclusive response.
Most Toyota cars are reliable, user-friendly, docile, cheap to-run, economy cars that cover many aspects of automobile transportation. These qualities make them attractive to the common people. For this reason alone Toyota has sold more cars than Mercedes. It is strategy which they have used to outsell many other brands and this is their focus.
Looking at it from the luxury perspective, I guess Mercedes and BMW sell more cars every year than lexus.
There is so much to the question- Toyota and Mercedes which is a better company-
You can look at it from these lines:

In terms of annual income declared, Toyota (sale of many small 'easy' cars)
Number of cars sold, Toyota.
Prestige and comfort, Mercedes.
In the sports and performance, Mercedes.
Brand image, maybe Mercedes.
Reliability, Toyota.
Safety, Mercedes.

Compared to Toyota, Mercedes spends more in research, design and development of their products, I think the german automobile companies generally do. They design the cars to please the driver behind the steering wheel.

(Toyota confirmed that in the joint Supra project they had with BMW).
Toyota, on the other hand may not be bothered about the 'feel' or driver enthusiasm factor, but simplicity and efficiency they would care more about.

Alot more indices to consider. I own both these products so i see them as two different cars, Good for their own purpose. The W204 c350 is one of the best cars on the highway, it is comfortable and fast, much faster than my Toyota Matrix. But the aircon system in the benz is finicky compared to that of the matrix, the latter is indestructible. But It makes no sense to compare a matrix to a w204 c350...

So for me, there is no clear cut answer, a little bias will tip towards Mercedes because as a customer, their products appeal to my sense of personality and automobile attraction.

DownChelsea:
you can’t speak as a consumer.
Cos the question ab-initio was is respect of the “corporate entities” themselves.

That the Toyota company is a superior/better (or bigger) corporate entity is something that is not in doubt.

yungboss:


"Superior/Better" in what area if i may ask? Break it down

DownChelsea:
it’s too simple, for google not to be of help. You know what to do

yungboss:

Please paste a link here of that reliable site/report, which states that Toyota is a better company than Mercedes.

christopher123:
It's not just about its brand name for considering its expensive cars in the market.

Mercedes deals with the one's safety first then it's power.Mercedes have great innovations that increases its valve and preference than the other companies.

Mercedes done soo many innovation that one can never think. Mercedes provides surety and security while driving their cars. With safety and power Mercedes have luxurious interior in it.

yungboss:

The issue is, I don't know what the lady has in mind. She made reference to Toyota being the better company, not referring to any standards of assessment. She made reference to Google, and Google makes reference to various sites and no clear cut definitive answer.
I wonder how one could make a general comment without any reference, the Op's question is the root of this controversy...

What's Toyota's market capitalization versus Mercedes?

Toyota is number one automaker in the world while Mercedes is ranked number 9.

Toyota is a bigger company based on revenue and profits.

There are way more people driving Toyota's to Mercedes.

AmuDimpka:



People seff

So Toyota is the number one automaker doesn't make their products best..

Is Toyota better than Rolls Royce, Ferrari, Lamborghini....these firms produce for niche market unlike Toyota that produces for everyone

Just like Benz....Benz isn't a car for everyone . Toyota is a car for everyone

Understand the concept of niche market

Because you sell 20 bags of pure water doesn't make pure water better than Eva or nestle bottled water


Understand this concept

djon78:



You didn't answer my question.
Benz is in niche market what's there market capitalization versus Toyota?

From market capitalization you understand how vast the scope of each is.

Example amazon, Apple, Microsoft and google all have there market capitalization in the trillion dollars segment.

Toyotas market capitalization is about $300billion while Mercedes capitalization is not up to $50billion.

Toyota is a much bigger company in comparison to Mercedes.

You are talking about niche marketing, Toyotas marketing strategy is different from Mercedes. They are in every segment of the market even the niche market that's why Lexus was made to compete in the segment of Mercedes market.

So I don't see any basis someone comparing the two business wise. Toyota are excellent with there strategy and at what the do that's why they are number one automaker in the world.

They have bigger capitalization
They have bigger revenues
They have bigger profit
They are the market leader number 1

Quality begets reliability.
You can't separate them.
Low quality results to low reliability. High quality begets high reliability.
Do not mistake quality for luxury. They are two totally different things.

Don't get it twisted.
