a honda or a toyota are the best cars on the US market right now. they last way longer than any benz with less problems and they are easier and cheaper to repair/ maintain. the corolla, the dumbest ugliest car ever made since the yugo, has a timing chain and is virtually indestructible. a Honda, well everybody knows they are good.
mercedes needs 'tinkering' all the time and is really only good if you are really rich or mechanically inclined.
diesel people usually are, so hence there's plenty of diesels still on the road.
The US has no other diesels than mercedes and a few jeeps and vw-junk.
in europe this discussion would be very different. why have a hybrid if you can drive a 70mpg peugeot diesel...
