Was reading the 06 Consumer report book at the in laws this week.
Scores for Benz were no better than scrap metal for anything 98 on.
Not going to find anything to replace the e300d with. All the cars
have black dots. Maybe the Benz of the future is just a short term
investment and will be rarer to find a fifteen year old 210 on the road
than a yugo

The magazine reviews are saying that although the BMW system was a
pain,
Mercedes has gotten this one right. In any case, those buying
(leasing) a new S
are not concerned about that sort of thing since the car will be
swapped off in
a few years.
To remain competitive in the high end market, all this gee-whiz stuff
is
mandatory. I appreciate the technology even though I will never own
one of them. I
suspect that my planned W204 in a year or so will have some of these
features
and that's why I will buy the extended factory warranty as i did with
my
present car. Cheap at twice the price.
