Most people don't know anything about their car, they want it to start and run and go and get them there and back. Reliability is way more important than cheap feel...

I remember when Lexus first came out back then. I checked out the LS400 in the dealership and was far from impressed. The doors felt light and cheap as did the plasticky interior and cheap leather. I understand how Japanese cars have come a long way and may be quite reliable but IMO, reliability is the only thing they have to offer. They still have an underlying cheapness about them. I further dislike how they lag behind Mercedes just enough to copy all the technological and styling advances that MB makes then copy what works. And don't get me started on the whole Toyota safety cover-up some years back. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
