I actually love that luxury brands like Benz and Mercedes are doing this. Continue to tax the people who have more money than sense.

Some will argue this will trickle down to the lower end brands if consumers don’t balk, but I don’t think so. Since the more mass market brands are fairly commoditized, they largely compete on price, so it’d be a bad strategy for say, Toyota or Chevy to do this. They might try, but they’ll see a lot more pushback from potential buyers than the luxury brands would.
