Yip Merc didnt raise their prices like the other manufacturers, their cars still expensive but a good buy!

I think its just the Carollas that did well..

The Citis could be for delivery vehicles otherwise I dont understand the 100k a citi golf story.

WTF a BMW 325 1 - series??
I would never buy a Vtec, they ALL abused.
No Opels. No V6s!
Old BMs and Alfas will be very high to maintain, people shopping in the 100k market dont want high maintenance costs...

It has its place in the market... there other alternatives but they obviously not doing very well.

Honda actually makes the most reliable variable valve timing engine in the world. If you don't tinker with it, and service/maintain it according to manufacturer recommendations, you can rev the shyte out of it without worrying.
