If I remember correctly (this study was released over a week ago) MB finished around 17 or 18 overall, and did have fewer problems reported than the industry average. Obviously not where we expect to see MB, but it is an improvement over where they were finding themselves in previous years. Hopefully this is proof that they are getting their quality issues under control. This survey is more meaningful because it measures 3 years of ownership. The Initial Quality survey measure only 3 months of ownership.
