Opinions are of course subjective, however I feel the crown has dropped from the “so called” premium German marques” and with the advent of electric a changing of the guard will occur, if not already happening. When I was young it was a dream of many to own a Merc or BMW, however , having had 2 BMW¨s and had 3 merc´s as courtesy cars, the gap between these and the “mainstream” brands is wafer thin, non existent and in many cases they have the edge.
