C&D Editor’s Choice article

I know that various media outlets are biased regarding certain brands, but out of over 170 models C&D selected, only five were MB. The E & S sedans, two GLC models and the CLE53 AMG. No other AMG’s, GLE, GLS, EQS, EQS SUV, EQE, SL, G, A, B, C, etc. They did pick 15 BMW’s, 14 Porsche’s and 8 Volvo’s, etc.

I always thought of C&D as very pro-MB, so these choices really seem to reflect what many here—myself included—have been griping about.

Mercedes reliability, as a manufacturer, has tanked and depreciation is horrible.

The high line models always tanked (perhaps more so now), but reliability is horrendous. The issues that some of these cars encounter shouldn't be found on an entry level 30K car. It's ridiculous.
