A 1950s Mercedes-Benz SL with Gullwing doors costs about $3k new and is worth more than a brand new Ferrari, Lambo and Rolls Royce combined today! LOL.
"The Pontiac G8 offers far better performance than most Mercedes models, and USA Today's auto reviewer referred to the Mercedes ML320 as having a herky-jerky transmission, harsh ride, awful mileage and seats like concrete. They recommended the Dodge Durango over it."
Judging by the disheartening Durango reviews on this site, 'Methinks'... LOL... USA Today's auto reviewer doesn't know what they are talking about.
Pontiac no longer makes the G8 and Forbes has found that the Durango is one of the absolute worst cars for resale value, because they are worth less than 18% of their new price in 5 years time. Ouch!
I thought Mercedes galvanized their steel panels, going on over a decade now? Are these reports of rust, actual rust? Brown rusting steel? Or are they seeing bubbling paint on aluminium? Some sort of chemical reaction with the paint that isn't actually steel rusting?
Either way, it's unacceptable, but more so if it's steel rusting.
Mercedes builds exciting cars, but the quality is in the crapper since the early 90's.
Maybe with less paper millionaires in the world, we will see a return to quality over quantity as they are no longer looking to be greedy and make as many cars as possible.
