If they HAVE minimal problems, then the extended warranty would cost them little.

THIS is my point:
There is no such thing as a free lunch.
IF they extend the warranty, the price will come up. They will calculate some sort of figure which will hopefully cover on average what it'll cost to extend the warranty and they'll add it to every car. Like most things at ALL the manufacturers these days, it's the accountants that call the shots. Also one has to realize that alot of what goes on here in the US is decided by MBUSA, not DaimlerChrysler. I can GUARANTEE you that MBUSA decided to drop Maintenance Commitment. THEY decide how the cars are marketed, THEY decide which frivolous little option they want to have on the cars, THEY decide they are going to extend the warranty. WHY don't they/didn't they have Maintenance Commitment in Canada? MB Canada doesn't WANT it. They could have it, then the price would be higher.
