Hey all, First, I do not own a Mercedes (just a bit above my financial station), but I do Covet a Mercedes. As I've been in this group, there's been a lot of talk that Mercedes just isn't the car it was "before the round headlights". Now, they're just like the others, and can point to the JD Power information for backup. There are those unhappy with the warranty problems - the costs - the simple fact that Mercedes are so complex and electronically driven that they cannot possibly hold up for the 20 or 30 years that some of the old ones could.
My question is this: IF you feel this way towards Mercedes and you were looking to replace your old MB... WHAT brand WOULD you look at that would be durable, reliable, solid, etc. Would you switch to an Audi, or consider a Lexus?
Just curious what others opinions would be that if Mercedes isn't Mercedes anymore - what brand IS??
