Do you think Mercedes engineers ever go looking at Message boards like this one. It seems to me to be a great place to get peoples likes and dislikes relatively easy. If they don't they should and if they do they should listen more.

difficult to say....you have to understand that the people that frequent this board cannot be extrapolated to represent the majority of MB owners....if anything we are the small population of enthusiasts.....the majority of MB owners, i think, do not search the web for MB discussions sites.....so listening to our needs may not be the right marketing approach....

I agree with Angel_Dust. This board represents a small percentage of the popluation. Also, if you read the posts here, it seems that people are more interested in HP and Touque than say MPG. Although I'm sure that these are important factors to MB, they probably are not #1 and #2 to the general population.

I am sure that they have much more "scientific" methods for compiling info on customers...that is why it is important to return the surveys they send out!....Did you get the one about track days???
