If I were in a discussion about Porsche's build quality on their curent cars, I wouldn't dream of basing my opinon on the ones I owned because they have no bearing on the subject. The same with Ferrari. I had a beautiful little Dino 246gts, but my experiences with that car don't mean crap when talking about a Modena. It just common sense. I loved my early production Shelby GT350 (damn, I miss that car), but what does that have to do with the current Mustang? Squat!

Well, I guess members are a little confused as to your argument...it was only towards the end that I sorta got what you were trying to get across...it just appears that you are lumping every single Mercedes-Benz car together and labelling them a "POS" based on your experience...you have to also admit the, "my Honda is better than your Mercedes" argument isn't exactly going to get you a red carpet reception around here...if you want to say that Mercedes-Benz build quality sucks now compared to before, then use your C43 as an example, I think most members will agree...just flip through the forum...most people won't deny that...
Just look at this thread:

It wasn't exactly met with much resistance by members...
It seems mbworld.org members are happy with their cars though...they seem to be in a state of bliss and worrying about wheels and bodykits...if they have the time for that, I doubt that they are being pestered by much if any mechanical problems...
