Why is an S-Class near twice the price of a 300C?

If you compare a Mercedes-Benz S-Class with a Chrysler 300C you'll find they are the same size with similar size boots. What's more there's no material difference in their top speed, acceleration, fuel consumption or CO2 emissions.

However the Chrysler 300C has an entry level price just over £27,000 compared to the Mercedes-Benz S-Class starting price of near £55,000.

It's all to do with image, specification, refinement, quality and safety. If you think over 20k is a high price to pay for a badge, gadgetry and materials it is worth it for the safety alone.
