Mercedes is the weakest link

This isn't too surprising. MB hasn't been doing that well...

This is what I found funny though:

Quote:

DaimlerChrysler's Asian strategy is in limbo after it divorced Mitsubishi and sold its shares in Hyundai last year. Privately, some Hyundai executives are glad DaimlerChrysler pulled out.

"DaimlerChrysler was not very successful with Chrysler and their other ventures," one said. "We certainly did not want to be pulled down that spiral."

Even Hyundai doesn't want anything to do with them...

Wow that articles really old. Its the one that say mb isn't doing well in the market and bearly making profits but daimler is making dinero?

Oh well benz has a spot in my family's heart...we have one right now, and another in about 1 week or less. They are nice cars, but I'd rather have a different company. Benz is all name and ****....

We had a bmw before, what a great car I loved it. Handles better than the benz anyday. But the problem is bmws don't seem to last very long, has lots of problems. I'm sure benz is the same way. Both ours are quite new. Soo we'll see but my dad likes them more because he feels the interior is better. Which is true...bmw interior has never been an eye catcher...its to plain, but thats been like that since I remember cars. Soo it must be their motto or something.
