So which is it, make up your mind.
Its not that Mercedes and BMW doesnt want to make low price cars, its just that they dont have the know how.
So which $15000 mid size sedan would you rather have than the Jetta? A Corolla, or maybe a Hyundai Accent?
As far as I am concerned and in my circles, Lexus isn't 2nd tier BUT as I stated, several reviews from various auto mags bring up the issue and the posts on this board second that. The difference is my opinion versus the apparent general opinion.

As for cars that I would rather have for around $15k? A Mazda 3, a Honda Civic, a Kia Forte, Hyundai Elantra, Subaru Impreza, Ford Focus, etc. etc. etc. It's all personal preference.
