What are the mercedes classes to a lexus and bmw ?

For example the BMW 7 series is to a Lexus LS Class, or Lexus GS model is to BMW 5 series.


Or the Lexus LS is to an Audi A8. Well If you guys can help that would be great.|||Benz S class ~ 7 Series BMW ~ Lexus LS





AND





Benz E class ~ 5 Series BMW ~ Lexus GS





AND





Benz C class ~ 3 Series BMW ~ Lexus IS





These are the closest match that there could be. There can not be a direct comparison between the brands though.|||In addition to the S-Class, there's also the long, low CLS-Class, which are beautiful 4-door sedans. They're about the same length as a BMW 7-series, but sleeker and not as heavy as the S-class.





And the analog to the BMW 6-series coupes, Audi A5, or the Lexus SC coupes would be either the larger CL coupes, or the shorter CLK coupes.|||You really can't/shouldn't compare any Lexus to any Audi/Merc/BMW.





What will the boy's back in Germany think...there is simply no real comparison.





Like it or not, German build quality/design/engineering rules supreme.
