Oto I think you see my point. MB is a marque brand and should stick to doing what they do best and brand does matter. With reference to "old", I meant customers of "old",like the ones on the "mercedes and me" ad campaign. From a customers stand point, yes the quality of work has improved. I have yet to have any major issues with my car. I did have a recall, but that was to check the ECU of the on board computer to make sure it knows how to redirect the power to maintain the ABS system, easy fix. I did buy a MB for its heritage but also for its value and performance, I don't think theres a better GT in its class. Would I buy a tempermental, high maintenance, gas guzzling car with prestige (ferrari), of course! Would I buy an eco friendly car, like the Smart cars, that has a company like MB behind it, of course not. Prestige has something to do with it but not all. Personal preference! Great country ain't it!
