A couple minute segment last night on CNBC discussed the "new" E. Although they really didn't understand that this was just a refresh and not an entirely new model, the segment was good and the E was highly praised. One of the Mercedes Exec's (can't remember who) said that they are still addressing quality problems.

So, they kinda admitted, in a round-a-bout way, that they had quality problems and issues?

Yep but that they are working to correct them. I am sure that the interview with that executive was much longer but that is the part they pull out. All in all it was very positive.

Wow, I haven't been watching tv for a while. I don't have a clue what's going on. Sounds like great news about praising the E class.
