Another Blow To Mercedes

**ryan** · December 19th, 2005 03:52 AM

I regularly see the ads sa new 316 lately. Kaso lang at 1.85M tapos bare na bare, sorry but di ba parang TH ang dating? Siguro if Euro car ang type and may strict budget of say around 2M, di kaya isang decently specd 1-series or yung new S40 (w/ 2.4L engine) ang mas ok instead of a 316? Maybe its just me but if all looks and no go ang auto na nasa 2M up, tapos wala reng practical purpose (like spaciousness of a wagon or SUV), parang di sulit.

OT... Hens, kamusta C-class mo? Kamusta naman reliability ng mga modern Benzes? Curious me sa reliability ng mga new MB models cuz type ko sila.

Mercedes-Benz division is set to suffer another indignity: losing the title of the world's best-selling premium brand.

inevitable.

OT.

Bro, curious lang ako. You mention the X-5. Max Soliven on his article today said his X-5 broke down and a kind owner of a Chevrolet Venture offered him a ride instead.

Incidentally this is the second X-5 which I read that stalled. The first one, I passed along EDSA near Main Road southbound, in the evening last week. It caused a bit of a traffic buildup on the overpass.
