Do you really believe that reliability is the only criteria by which we choose the cars we drive? What about style, status, safety, performance, comfort, among many other factors. How can you possibly make the statement that most people including yourself would buy one?
Most new MB's are from $40,000 to $100,000+. The luxury car market will never be for most people.
