Does the CR report mean that the BMW 7 series and Mercedes S class break down and leave the owners stranded? Or do they mean that some little features break and require repair? Having static in your left speaker is not the same as being unable to drive.

It seems to me that all cars with lots of fancy electronics, some of which include safety features, will require more money and time to keep. But which car would you rather be in when the Hummer driven by some psycho with road rage broadsides you? The S class or the Hyundai?
