Why is the 6GC so expensive?
Why is the 6 GC not competitive in terms of price against the CLS and A7? The CLS and A7 are based on the E and A6 respectively. The 6er GC is essentially based on the 5er but the GC is marketed as a 6 series. Is that why it's so expensive? Will MB and Audi match the pricing of the 6 GC, making the CLS and A7 much more expensive(I sure hope not).

The 6er is in a higher class than the E Class and 5 Series. You'd think they have to make it more expensive than the coupe given it actually has a backseat and slightly more powerful engine.

The six series has the status of a 7 series (if there is such a thing) but the looks of a cool, vibrant car. Not some stodgy old man buggy. |

more important question is:
should GC be more expensive than Coupe? (eg. should S class be more expensive than CL and SL?) If GC was different/distinct than Coupe (not just 4 door), I may be ok with it, but in my opinion it just downgraded Coupe's value. (a little background: I got into my first e63/64 6-series because all of my friends thought my 7-series was my father's. with 6-series i got the coupe + more prestige feel from bmw brand. now with GC, something out of 5-series is expensiver than 7-series AND it's a 4-door. What the hell??) Anyone feel the same? Last edited by leejae1376; 03-08-2012 at 12:31 AM.. |

There are a million ways to analyze their decision making process and where they wanted the cars to sit in the brand. Despite all of this, the 6er is a stunning car that attracts more attention than practically any other car on the road (aside from Ferraris, Lambos, and Astons).

lol :-)
"officially" i think 6 is based off of 5. but then again, 5 is based on 7 and 3 is based on 5 and 1 is based on 3 and mini is based on 1. so... we're all (7, 5, 6, 3, 1, mini) driving a 7 at the end of the day. yay~ :-) |
