compete on price


Explanation:
OK, if 'Preis' means 'price' and 'Image' means 'image', then 'Preis-Image' must be 'price image'. Or must it. I can't get a single hit for 'price image' in English. Maybe we should look at what it really means. You will find an example at the URL below. There are references to 'schlechtes Preis-Image' which means that something or somewhere has the reputation of being expensive, and the reverse. Here, don't we really mean that the two models in question compete first and foremost on price?

makes...price competition


Explanation:
For cars (larger, complex machines) we use the word 'makes' rather than 'brands'(other, smaller, less complex items).

Both makes are positioned in the front line (of the market) on the basis of price
