Total and absolute misuse of the lemon laws. If the guy is still driving his MB then it can't really be a lemon, right?

The lawyer - and his client - give the whole process a bad name.

I would like to hear from Mercedes why they don't want to pay the judgement at the first place. It looks like Mercedes is putting a bad image on themselves. Overall Mercedes makes good cars, but if there is one lemon, they usually very helpful to replace it and I hope that's what they are doing otherwise I need to put a second thought on my next Mercedes.

aside form the bad press, (no such thing right?), I don't see how MB could really give a crap to begin with......
MB has piles and piles and piles and piles and PILES of money...............
they have so many patents and car sales......
I mean damn.......when will the money be enough?
I agree with CEB about the whole process looking bad because of lawyers like that....

If I were MB, I would have taken this to the US supreme court. They can afford it. US tort laws are insane. This is a great example.
The general public is paying for this in the purchase of all products and services. Healthcare comes to mind as the most abused by the scum tort lawyers.
