Other than some early lamps that went out unexpectedly my S class has been reliable for the first 6700 miles. On the other hand I know someone with a new S who has had nothing but problems. Luck of the draw.
The point is that when you spend 80 - 100 K, or more, on a car the quality shouldn't be a crap shoot. The Japanese have much better quality control and there is no reason we should expect less from MB.
