I think all the factors you identify might be contributors in part-but I personally think you have to look at Chrysler's influence too. Moving the brand from up market to mid market-at least the E class-and probably the C class too. And letting marketing not engineering make decisions. May be just a bias on my part, but you could partially test this hypothesis by checking other German luxury brand prices over the same period of time. Snook?"
