Mercedes' failed strategy in China is putting on full display how important the Chinese market is to the fortunes of the Big German 3 luxury automakers.

Ups that hurts....but that's the economy...Every Luxury car fate is the same at the end. This is the way that I see the future: Big Companies as Toyota, Hyundai, Volkswagen, Peugeot, Will Own ALL the luxury car companies..Like BMW Owns RR, Tata Owns Jaguar and Rover, Daimler Owns MB, etc. At the end it is more profitable to sale millions of cheap cars than a few luxury cars.... MB is not falling cause they decide to enter in 1984 with the 190 to the market of entry level cars and now they are seeing the need to build a lot of new cheap cars If they want to stay on Business, but BMW is ahead of that game with several more cheap models and years of experience than MB. At the End the Only Luxury companies that will exist , will be those Owned and Maintained by Mega companies as Porsche, Owned by VW. Every day the rich are less and the poor more so that market is shrinking for luxury cars (Comparatively speaking)

As a market contrarian now is the time to buy Mercedes stock...buy low, sell high. Do you really believe Mercedes' car division is worth half of BMW's....half really!!!! I don't think so.

This rating is interesting. BMW, in its quest to become the Toyota of the luxury market, has filled almost every imagine niche in the market. Primarily, BMW has heightened its presence in the entry-level space, a space where Mercedes has not had a worldwide presence. Mercedes will soon change that with the intro of the A-Class model range to the US.

I just don't understand the rating. Mercedes is trailing BMW by about 200,000 vehicle worldwide, so that understandably would affect its non-truck value. But $30billion? Not sure about that.

I guess more importantly, I find it hard to believe that MB's truck division is valued at about half of the entire company's value.
