It is sad to think that this is what has become of Mercedes-Benz. "The brake callipers on the rear wheels are painted dark grey, the four fastening nuts on the disc brake callipers belonging to both the front wheels rusted like mad and looked very embarrasing" Embarassed by a NEW Mercedes-Benz s500, who would have ever thought there would be that day?? Who know's, maybe it's time for me to start obsessing over another car company. Acura's making some nice car nowaday's that are much more reliable, why NOT?? J/K but seriously Mercedes needs to do something because it hard to argue with facts.
