THANK YOU! I heard that on John Boy & Billy (I hate that show!) about 2 years ago.

Ford caters to the masses, they make some cars that they shouldn't be proud of that have problems like the Focus. MB on the other hand touts its quality and prestige. It's their trademark.
Oh really? "Quality is Job #1" isn't an example of Ford "touting its quality"? Hello?

And ONCE AGAIN I CHALLENGE (beg, actually) Buellwinkle to post a reliability rating of the C class, since that is the car this forum is for, NOT MB's in general. A while back someone posted a JD Power survey (that I have searched for, but can't find now!)that listed the reliability based on individual product lines, NOT based on an average of the entire line. The C class had average reliability (neck-and-neck with the BMW 3 series). E class was better and S class was better yet. ML and G classes were ranked very low. ONCE AGAIN, I reiterate that JD Power themselves stated that MB's overall low score was mainly due to the troubled ML class. To bad Buellwinkle can't grasp this simple concept He proves himself a hipocrit in that he isn't badmouthing the Mustang since it is made by Ford, who makes the car with the highest rate of defects, the FOCUS! Of course none of us would base our opinion of an Expedition on the reliability of a Focus, but hopefully we all don't suffer the same affliction as Buellwinkle . I actually hope that he is just playing with us and really doesn't have such illogical analytical skills

Last I heard the C class factory was still running full capacity...not so for the Jag workers on unscheduled shutdown....

BTW, my nieghbor's kid works for Jag....they have soooooooo many problems- even the new ones. I can't wait till you buy one and get to use the roadsize assistance.
