How come? The Detroit News reports sporty performance cars are out. BMW formula is bad, and BMW will be hurt badly.

I don't think anybody would like to follow BMW formula in such a case.

Porsche is offering their sporty sedan, SUV is already there ... perhaps even smaller sedan or SUV or roadster or coupe may come ... So one sporty brand is more than enough. IMO they would go after MB with core line, and after BMW with S / RS line.

I think its pretty clear that AMG are focusing more on sporty cars than ever. C63 is the new era, even the ride has been affected into worse (in a comfort point of view).
I think upcoming AMG's will be sportier than ever. BMW arent the only ones building sporty cars anymore.

Both want to sell many cars and both put a lot of time and effort to build performance cars. I dont see how its just a hobby and what relevance it has with the word "threat". All carmakers are watching their competition and doing all they can to be ahead.

Re: Porsche wants to help develop RS-badged Audis

Eni is right. It's not so much what BMW and MB can build that Audi and Porsche can't. The worrying part is the amount of resources and R&D that will be available to them. Look at those brands put together: Audi, Porsche, Lambo, Bugatti., Bentley.

If I told you I wasn't intimidated by that, I'd be lying to you. It's so immature to think, oh Company X will ruin Company Y... how so?! I can see great things coming out of a partnership between the 2 companies. Remember, these are the top dogs of the premium market... for now.

The only other hope BMW and MB have against this is infighting between all of those. Otherwise when they all get on the same page life is going to get tough for BMW and MB.

Re: Porsche wants to help develop RS-badged Audis

MB´s answer to Audi,Porsche ,Lambo , Bugatti and Bentley should be

Mercedes, Mclaren, Aston Martin Lagonda, Maybach... And possibly someday allthough i hope that day never comes
PAGANI..

THey will never sell as many cars.. but they would sure as hell look better.. and have more appeal..

But thats just a distant dream
