WOW!!! Thanks, I needed that!!!

Eckhard Cordes seems like a straight up guy. Flat out acknowledging the concerns and stating that MBZ is NOT intending to continue down that path. I especially like that he considers Quality as one of Mercedes' Core Competencies. Looks like I'll be a Benzo owner for some time to come!!!

Yep, good article. But, talk is cheap and it makes good press.
Let's see if they can really deliver!

I agree. 2 days ago I had the tristar emblem on my trunk lid repaced because it bowed up and broke. $8.55 parts $27.25 labor. Not covered under warrenty.I did not complain because I will have more satisfaction if MB tries to fix this after the e-mail I sent MBUSA. My 3rd MB and I've never been questioned on something like this. I will refuse reimbusement if they attempt it, and hopefully it will make a point for the rest of us.
