One of my issue with the MB(and maybe all the Germans)
Why can the Japanese put the gaddets on the car and they work longterm...the germans,while making a car that drives incredibly seems to have a hard time with the relaibility of the gadgets....while you can look at a 4-5 year old LS400 thats NEVER had any electrical problems in 50-60K miles of driving

Lexus gave them a tough time. I don't know why, but they did. To compare a W126 or W140 to a Lexus LS400 is sickening. I thought the car Lexus was gunning for was the E-Class. With the LS 400, the 400E came out to challenge it.
As far as the electro-gadgets, the Japanese have long been the best producers of reliable electronics. Germans should stick with what they know best: Build quality.
Before '90 I'd imagine Benz's were getting quite a bit over sticker!
Yikes, that would singe your wallet.
