LOL, yeah, it does kind of, but my first impression was, Kia Sorento

Bingo! That's what I thought. I just hope they bring back the Mercedes quality.

If by improving you mean lower build quality, less quality control, more failures due to bad workmanship, more recalls due to bad materials and overall lower standards due to United Auto Workers Union liberal/democrat labour - then yes I would agree.

BMW doesnt seem to have a problem with american workers, Nor do the American Car Companies now. Neither does acura. To me its just that Mercedes is hiring shitty workers. Because its not just cars made here, JC was talking about the CL65 and that is made in germany.

I share your opinion guys, because this new Merc ML is more like a Kia Sorento than german SUV.

If thats not enough, i have probably 7 friends with BMWs, not any of them have had problems. Also RC are you saying that american workers suck? Are you saying theres something wrong with america?
