Hot! Mercedes-Benz, What's Next?

[McLaren64TR]

Mercedes was making more money last year despite having fewer sales. This was because they were selling more cars with higher profit margins. I think they will be close in terms of profitability in 2025, despite the large unit sales difference of 370,000 units.

Mercedes announced that profitability fell by 50,1% to €1.2 billion in the third quarter of 2025.

While profitability is always higher in the luxury segment due to extensive customization options that drive up margins, selling more high-end vehicles hasn't had a positive impact on Mercedes' bottom line. Mercedes has been poorly managed for years and is steadily losing sales; their profitability has plummeted compared to just two or three years ago. It is no longer the status symbol it once was. Even in the eyes of its own potential customers, Mercedes is no longer seen as that great of a manufacturer.

Are you just not able to understand what I just wrote? Where did anyone argue that it had an impact on their bottom line? Go back and read what I just said. They're seen as good enough for people to pay higher prices for them then BMW at the top end. Try again.

That is not Mercedes' fault nor do they need to have a direct competitor to reach those prices. Point is when BMW does reach higher with that they have, it doesn't work like the XM. That point has already been made, you don't have to agree. It's been decided by the market. Not sure what you're still talking about.

It's not Mercedes' fault there aren't any direct competitors, but there will be for both G-Class and Maybach, and BMW must have some certainty despite the XM's mediocre performance.
The market will decide when they compete, not now.

What a stupid response.

The XM is a model built on the X7 platform and uses the same interior. It's also a very polarizing model in terms of design. The failure of that model alone isn't indicative of anything.

Mercedes' EQS model was also a major failure. According to your logic, people must have thought a Mercedes wouldn't be worth that much money. The low sales of a single model don't mean the brand can't sell cars at very high prices.

Stupid irrelevancy.

I mean brain dead. I have never seen people make such stupid comments or not able to process the simplest things.

Typical Mercedes fanboys. The failure of the brand they idolize has driven them mad. We'll have to put up with this for a long time.

Like the inability to make comments that aren't derogatory towards others because they have different opinions?

You think BMW can't sell at those prices, but some people here, and BMW itself, think they can. What's the mystery or the problem?
It hasn't gone well for them so far, but who knows what the future holds? We'll see.

I honestly don't understand why you're still posting to me at this point.

Those idiotic fanboys can't accept that Mercedes, the brand they worshipped like an idol for years, has been losing ground for some time now, and they're becoming aggressive. In psychology, this is called the psychology of loss.

You are the one who is brain dead. Your brand is sinking to the bottom, and your tiny brain is trying to convince you that everything is alright, clinging to tiny scraps.

And you have no brain at all because you obviously can't read or think or process. At no point did I say that Mercedes didn't have problems. I mean like seriously go back and read what I said, if possible. I clearly said that they do, but that was not the point of the discussion. You and your bozo the clown buddy pivoted to that because you can't spin or win the original argument. I can't speak for all fans of Mercedes, but I know they have serious issues. Can you process or absorb that?

You small-brained clown, I'm going to ignore you because you're just a moron who can't express her opinion without resorting to insults.

Which means you finally understood what I said and you're too stupid to pivot back to common sense. Good riddance.
