By your standards, a Mercedes-Benz would be a lousy car.

Sorry, but have friends that have owned several and will never buy another because they are lousy cars.

Same with BMW now, sadly. I bought my first one in Canada and it was a European import and I drove it into the ground and still got $4K as a trade in for my next BMW. The next one was domestic built and was a piece of sh*t from the minute I drove it off the lot. Will never buy another.

Well I’m glad I saved my money then.

Because you forgot Rule #1: "Never buy any vehicle that has been touched by the UAW." :)
