Not only Mercedes,but everything. Even refridgerators don't last like the ones made in the 60s.
It all boils down to greed.Shareholders,CEO's want to increase profit so they can have cash to spend now.They don't care about their children or future generations.Its all about what I can get now,or who I can crush.
It used to be when you worked for a company,you had job security.Now they can up and move to another country,or cut you back to part time.
The only stable employment now is burying the dead,or maybe healthcare.But they will probably part time those jobs too,to prevent benifits.
So buying new products today is really a gamble,for one cars are so expensive you need a mortgage,second they are made cheap.
I will continue to keep my older cars going,far cheaper than payments,insurance.
