true both have their bread and butter at the low end of the spectrum but you cannot say that VW is king because polo, cross polo, golf, jetta, gol, and the 1000 other models they cover don there outsell the mini in its dual incranation (till now)
rolls and maybach compete head to head (theoretically not in my eyes) they have 2 models, SWB and LWB in the extremely upper side of the spectrum, bentley has now 3 GT declinations and a zillion versions of their arnage
pouint for point if one were to compare arnage to maybach to rolls, it would work
but lumping in the GT declinations to say it has a higher sales volumes, given that the GT in all its forms is less than half the price and prestige of a rolls, and that it's chief competitiors are a quattroporte, and an S600, it's very much biased publicity
mercedes outsells porsche 10 to 1 maybe, what does that mean?
VW outselss lotus 1000 to 1 again what does that mean?
daimler chrysler as a whole outsells BMW ag but what does that mean? | That's true, Bentley's Continental Range has certainly expanded the scope of its customer base... But I see it as Rolls and Maybach's loss that they are not capitalising on where Bentley is. |
