The Ghibli really competes w the CLS, A7 and 6-series Grand Coupe if you speak within the industry. Last month it beat all 3 models in monthly sales. Yes 5-Series and E-class buyers might defect but it's that new class of sedans that the Ghibli targets. For a car that starts at $67k I think it's compelling for the luxury sedan buyer. Let's face it a huge part of the population buys on brand/ exclusivity vs technology. I can't be the only guy that bought their girlfriend/ wife a $3,000 purse based on label only to say "seriously I'm over paying by $2,700"
