The old Mercedes were built with a degree of attention to quality, instead of attention to maximum flash, or bling-bling factor.

the new ones..........I would rather spend my money on the Cadillac. Not saying the Mercedes is junk, just that is grown more and more unreliable and more and more costly to repair due to their fixation with more and more gadgets that are prone to break and cost a small fortune to repair due to not being well designed.

Sort of like the Chrysler designed automatic climate control monstrosity taken to the Nth degree.
