    I have to wonder though....... If the German cars are lemons, why do people keep buying them especially at the price? It certainly goes against the mantra of "fine German engineering".

    I honestly doubt people will keep buying them if they were. These people wouldn't have made the money they have by being dumb.

    The Japanese, especially. Japan is the last place I expected to see large numbers of Euro sedans. But I couldn't count for more than a minute without seeing a number of them in rush hour traffic.

    We know the Japanese are some of the most nationalistic people on Earth. What would motivate numbers of them to choose a German car over their own? That says a lot about the German cars.

    ^^ whoa! I have that on my wallpaper from a couple years ago ('06) and I really like how they got that CLS all tricked out.

    truthfully though, I still like Mercedes-Benz.. but not like how it was before. like myself, Ive had two W201 190E-2.3, and our family has a stable of W123 300D, W123 300SD, W124 300D Turbo, W124 300TE Wagon and an ML430. all of them served us pretty well all these years, but sadly we had to let go of a few (W123 300SD= SOLD!, W124 300TE= RIP *my brother wrecked the poor thing*, W124 300D Turbo= SOLD!, 190E= RIP! *coz I junked it*). now we moved on driving Toyota's (Supra, Camry and a Avalon). and a Hummer H3.

    also, we can afford a new Mercedes.. but after seeing alot of them with wiring defects (you'll see alot of Benzes w/ messed up tail lights (like theres a short or something..) and other BS. I told my parents not to get a Benz again. and even our ML430 is in the sidelines now, and we might sell that thing too.


    aite, peace.

    Heard about that...

    Since someone posted pics of the Brabus Mercedes models...

    Here's the full-size 500hp Alpina B7 (Alpina used a supercharged V8 instead of a V12 for better balance)


    PS: HyBrideVo, isn't the CLS 4-door coupe technically a mid-size since its based on the platform of the E-class?

    not all are bad as people people make them out to be. it's just that they experience more problems per 100 vehicles sold than their lexus counterpart.

    The Japanese, especially. Japan is the last place I expected to see large numbers of Euro sedans. But I couldn't count for more than a minute without seeing a number of them in rush hour traffic
    it could be that Lexus was never a global luxury brand until last year, hence the large presence of german luxury brands in Japan.

    We know the Japanese are some of the most nationalistic people on Earth. What would motivate numbers of them to choose a German car over their own? That says a lot about the German cars.
    sir, see post above.
