Having just replaced one Mercedes-Benz with a new model, and waiting to take delivery of a new E-class to replace ayear 2000 E-class, I voted 75% - 100%
Yes, I have had little niggly problems, but they have always been sorted out in a prompt, efficient manner. My nearest dealership is one hours drive away, but the cars are always collected, a ourtesy vehicle left and all at no extra charge.
On the new vehicle I have been let down with the Linguatronic option. (Lack of knowledge on behalf of the salesman) Mercedes-Benz UK have apologised for the mistake and compensated me.

Right now I have my good old 1990 190E 2.6 with 185K miles and my 2003 BMW 330i perf pack.
Within a year we will replace the 190E with a slightly used Jeep Grand Cherokee with quadradrive.
And whenever MB offers the E320 CDI WAGON in Massachusetts (no erlier than 2007 due to emissions) we will buy one through European delivery (we will still keep the Jeep).
So I guess the answer will be yes if you consider the next NEW car, and no if you consider used cars or if the CDI wagon is never offered.

Unless qulity return in the next 36 months (remainder of 39 month lease) then probably not. Not sure what I will buy at the time but the way things are heading with their new cars, it looks like they're getting out of the high performance luxury market slowly. It was fun while it lasted. I loved my C, I love my E, and you never know I may love my CL too 
Maybe I will look at the KIA:p

Some MBs & Bimmers
I voted 50-74
Am concern about reliability especially with all the new gizmo stuff that MB has been adopting lately. For God sake, this is not a Yugo we are buying here.
I will be looking for a convertible in the not too distant future (must be the approaching the midlife crisis threshold) and hopefully MB gets her act together with quality.

No
This is my 3rd benz,and no doubt I love it.I really am happy with this car.
But the reason I say no is because the Chrysler influence is starting to show in the models that will be coming out.I knew this would happen and it pisses me off.
My only other options are Audi or BMW,I will only buy German.And both companies make great cars.So whatever I decide,I will be happy and the car will be modded the way I like it anyway.
I just dont feel the sense of stature anymore with these cars.You see Benzes everywhere.It will only get worse,and the Chrysler influence will do it..........

I'm really happy with my present car and expect to have it quite awhile. I had my last Mercedes 17 years. Unless things really go downhill with the cars in the future, I hope to drive a Mercedes forever! NOTHING compares!

I voted less than 25%, not because I don't like my mb's, but because I'm about to order a new suv for my wife. The ml just didn't appeal to her; we'll be ordering a gx470, which she likes the best.

I like new interior of 5 series. Active steering looks awesome and BMW provides better electronic as well, so bluetooth is available in US versions. So, there is a little chance that I will buy MB again. Japanese models, like Acura TL look very tempting too, although I definitely won't buy any Japanese ever after struggling with crappy Lexus. So, my second choice after BMW can be Audi or Jaguar. Time will show.
