Alright, Here is my two cents. If I said that MB was not haveing quality issues I would have to be dragged into court for gross misrepresentation. This past year has been a giant pain in the @#*. With that said, Consumers demand more and more features every year. TV, Parktronics, phones, GPS, Internet service (why) and heated seats to keep there little butts warm just to name a couple. All this while trying to improve braking streering and other safety systems. You show me a Lexus that will keep your brake rotors dry in the rain and move your seat in an upright poition before a collision to keep you safe. You won't find it because under the wood trim in a Luxus is nothing. You can put 50 airbags in a car and if the engine ends up in your lap during an accident it won't make a bit of difference. I have one customer that has wiped out 3 cars this year and she keeps coming back because she can keep coming back thanks to her Benzs. Every few years companies go through growing pains and ours is no different. The difference is that your new eclass is still going to save your life in a head on collision even if your CD changer is not working.
