i read something interesting on a site...
kinda summed it well from my point of view aswell
"As much as I l.o.v.e. LOVE Mercedes-Benz, I've kind of lost interest as of late. They (and nobody else) make their cars the way they used to. Before, you could buy a Mercedes-Benz where every non-wear part was designed to last 30 years. The designs were penned to look fresh for 30 years.
Now, to me it seems they're designed to start falling apart around the time their warranty is up. There's no more free lifetime roadside assistance. They're (new E-Class) goofy and way too trendy looking. And worst of all, everyone has one now. Poor sods who don't know any better wreck themselves buying second-hand S-Classes which they get for next to nothing and slap chrome and rented wheels all over them.
I always thought I'd be a Mercedes purist for life, but they're losing me fast. I'll go ahead and put my monocle away now. Sorry for ranting.."
