They would be far better investing and building product reliability into their general line of todays products. Building a flagship model does nothing to improve the durability quality of their cars. Proving once again the wrong person is in charge of the company.

Given a choice between a new Lexus or a Mercedes. One is going to require pretty deep pockets over time in comparison to the other. This is also going to be reflected in resale values.

New Mercedes products are for those that do not mind excess expenditures. At least from my viewpoint.
