I checked, and the Big Three are NOT the only American made cars! BMW, Honda, Hyundai, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Subaru, and Nissan all have manufacturing centers here in the United States. So how are they doing? Are they going bankrupt, and approaching the government with pleas of travesty and woe if they don't get a handout? Are the laws different for these companies? How come we aren't hearing anything about them in the news?
Answer
Because they manufacture quality products, most of them are located in the south, and they're not unionized. We're not bailing out the big 3, we're bailing out the UAW.
The average hourly compensation for the Big Three ($73.20)
Toyota ($48.00)...
compare this to the average hourly compensation for Management and Professional Workers ($47.57),
Manufacturing/Goods Producing ($31.59)
and all workers ($28.48),

Is the maintenance for an infiniti M35 costly? which is more expensive the infiniti or mercedes?
yaboy .S.S
is the maintenance (oil change, up keep etc) of an infiniti M35 very costly or is it average. How costly is it in comparison the the mercedes c-class. and of the two vehicles which one has a better life expectancy?
Answer
The German competitors have always been more costly to maintain then their Japanese rivals. Both Lexus & Infiniti cost the same to maintain, they are certainly not cheap but they are considerably more affordable to upkeep then BMW, Audi & Mercedes Benz. Overall reliability is also a contributing factor to costs. Lexus & Infiniti have always been more reliable then their Germans rivals which consequentially makes them more affordable to maintain not to mention they come from the Toyota & Nissan branch making parts less expensive. I am a family owner of both German and Japanese so I have personal experience with them both, we have a 2010 Infiniti G37 sedan & a 2008 BMW 328i coupe. In terms of cost, an example like oil changes can cost you around $75-$85 for an Infiniti G while on a BMW 3 series you are looking at around $135 an oil change (If your BMW is no longer under factory warranty). When it comes to brand prestige the Mercedes Benz has always been the prime name when referring to luxury cars, its almost instinct but much has changed with the luxury market over the years giving way to Audi as a respected luxury brand and BMW as the best selling German brand. Mercedes Benz builds great cars but they have always been a manufacturer with a target for building refined luxury cars not so much luxury sport cars like BMW & Infiniti. The Infiniti M35 is one of the best performing mid-sized luxury sport sedans next to the BMW 5 series. Over all the Mercedes E-class is a nice car but for the year comparable to the 2006-2010 M35 sedan the Mercedes E-class of the previous generation from years 2006-2009 looks outdated and slow compared to some of its competitors like the BMW 5 series, Infiniti M and Lexus GS. Nevertheless much of the chemistry between Infiniti and Mercedes Benz has changed this year, although they continue to be rivals it seems that they are now relatives as well. Infiniti & Mercedes Benz are now partners since the beginning of 2012, the 2014 Infiniti G sedan is expected to ride on the same platform as the Mercedes C-class with a longer wheel base. Also news that has surfaced today is that Audi designer and president Johan de Nysschen left Audi for Infiniti today making Johan the new Senior Vice president for Infiniti. Infiniti will essentially be the first luxury brand with the reliability of the Japanese and with the DNA of the Germans. With Infiniti being the TOP Formula 1 sponsor holding on to the #1 F1 champion Sebastian Vettel, being partners with Mercedes and inheriting Audi Chief Johan, Infiniti is expected to be a huge hit in the market as the #1 Japanese Luxury competitor.
