benz = mature mentally / physically older / looking for status...
bmw = younger drivers / trend followers / love to drive...
audi = mothers (family car) / technology lovers / rich kids...

LOL, rich kids apply to all 3 categories though~~ We have 20 years old kid buying a C63 AMG cash deal (daddy paying for it)~~~ I am sure its the same with BMW as well~~~

I'd say that the Audi is for the Holt Renfrew/Neiman Marcus crowd (fashionistas).
Many BMW purchasers buy their vehicle because they are told to (trend FOLLOWERS but never trend-setters).
MB purchasers do it because they want to.

I drive casually with my MB.
I feel like I always want to go just a tad faster with my BMW.
Don't have an Audi, but would love to test drive an S5.

Professionals, but not necessarily driving. Look at your map:

Mercedes Benz, an unforgettable car for the demanding person.
BMW, a fast car for "fast" people. Also called Yuppies' Paradise.
Audi, the Porsche of the wannabe. Nice wheels though.

What do you get? MBA, MBA, MBA. In other words: the three spell success.

Oh, I love using my nuclear physics skills. Thanks for the chance.

Cheers, JV

Merc owners do it with style
BMW owners do it fast
Audi owners do it slow

This short film made by Audi explains it all audi so graciously describes bmw, benz, lexus, and the perfect brand, themselves

episode 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfXqt0PuHQk

look for the rest of the episodes on the side related videos

they got bmw spot on.

MB - for those who demand the best and not scared of what people think of them. Probably self made, self employed.

BMW - for those who want a MB but are afraid of what friends and colleagues will think of them. Many seem to think BMW is a cheaper car / safer in a social consequence aspect. Probably an employee.

Audi - same reason as BMW, and applicable to BMW as well, more conservative. Would also go for Volvo and look at Saab plus jap brands.

In the German market I would agree with JoeVal:

"Mercedes Benz, an unforgettable car for the demanding person"
"BMW, a fast car for "fast" people"

In Hong Kong MB rules - purely for status! BMW and Audi are non-players.
