I agree. I'm pretty much stuck on old MB.s BMWs and Volvos not for the image but for the relible confortable safe and quality engenering that they afford. I worked at an auction company this summer and foudn that most the new cars I drove made me glad to walk back to my Old benz, Volvo or BMW that I drove that day. So much for progress. Thinking about picking up a diesiel benz next.
