As an American it bothers me that our best is second rate. Why can't I buy a V12 or big V8 Ford or Caddy that is the pinical of design and quality?
I'd rather have a STS Caddy before I would take the New mercedes. In fact the ONLY new mercedes I would own is the new diesel. But at that price, its not gonna happen.

Anyway who says it can't compete, it does, and does quite well. Why can't Lincoln compete, why can't Mercury? I don't see dodge, hyundi Honda, Suburu, or Kia doing it either, or for the people outside the USA, Peugot, Renault , Fiat, Autobianci, Seat, Skoda, Lancia , Alfa-romeo just to start..
