Mercedes and Audi are not even anywhere near this target.
Take for example the S-Klasse Hybrid. Mercedes will not be selling this car in Right Hand drive markets but the new Hybrid 7er will be engineered for Right Hand Drive and sold in these specific markets.

You have to understand that in product development there is a contingency plan especially with a vehicle with the 7er .
We knew that the S-Klasse would be coming up for it's mid-life refreshing so we have prepare for that and how they would fix or upgrade areas respective to combat the competition.

For that we look at media reports , tests , owners forums etc we look at what the journalist or owner states that works and does not work well. Mercedes-Benz do the same for feedback , we anticipate what they will do to the car and perfect ours accordingly.

So yes it's Mercedes-Benz that have their fifteen minutes now , but our slot is scheduled soon.

I was hoping the 760Li, being the top of the range BMW, would bring a new atmosphere of luxury and indulgence but it hasn't...
