dont you mean the improving. |
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.

rofl....
I had a meeting with Daimler's senior management a month or so ago. They were very bullish on the build quality side of things, and said they were going for #1 ranking in the JD power survey (i tried hard not to laugh). Anyway, my opinion is that they won't get it, but we will definitely see an improvement in the quality of Mercedes cars over the coming years, and that should especially be applicable to the new models.

IMO, it's just not innovative enough...
How can mercedes expect to really compete with BMW or VW with a car like that.. In fact, it seemingly hasn't even grown that much... One of the worst things about the ML was it's size...and it's still the same. Also, I hate the taillights... From what i can see they're a bit too low... Dear god, if this has the build quality of the current mercedes'... they will need a miracle to compete with BMW...
