OK I apologize if I sounded a bit harsh. I suppose that the problem I am having is that not only with MB automobiles, but with pretty much all aspects of life, we have to put up with those who constantly complain and are critical of everything. Yes you are correct in saying that we have the right to voice our "concerns" of what we percieve as lagging quality and the future of the MB brand as well as others. But it is like looking at an art masterpiece hanging on the wall of a fine gallery and instead of enjoying it as fine art, you go looking for the imperfections and pointing them out to the others around you therefore degrading their enjoyment of the artwork. As for my starting my own web site saying nothing but positive about MB's. C'mon, do you really think that would work? Not in this day and society. We as americans have made a lifestyle of complaining about pretty much everything. I'll just have to live with it, like it or not.
