Now that you mentioned M-B, did anyone ever notice (I have many Times) that one taillight or headlight on these cars shines brighter on a lot of these cars? I always wanted to ask this because it is M-B that is proliferating of late with this issue.
 
Looks like wacky electrical currents or bad parts!

The only luxury car that BMW sells in the U.S. in the 745. In my opinion the LS is more than head and shoulders above this car in every respect. There are hardly any 745's even sold in the U.S. At this point the 745 is irrelevant here.

nfiniti (with the exception of the Nissan based QX) has matched or surpassed Lexus in reliability,
 
You are joking, right? All the brand ratings are based on the entire brand. You can't just conveniently drop one product from the mix. Even if you did, Infiniti has a long way to go to match Lexus in reliability.

That exactly what I thought. The images of lux MB or BMW disappear quickly when one sees vehicles with these badges being used as taxis.

I also see a lot of newer MBs with one burned out tail light.

. A lot of Mercedes products as of late have also become much too flashy and vulgar looking to be considered prestigious in the more classical sense. It's always the S-class that has the blacked out windows and chromed out wheels, never the 7.
 
The MB S Class can be considered the top of the heap in terms of the HELC sedan segment
 
Chromed wheels and blacked out windows is not the fault of the MB S Class itself but the fault of the customers with pimping up tendecies.

Europeans and foreigners espeically taxi drivers know the longetivity of cars far better than us North American folks who tend to dispose of our things far too fast. Taxi drivers are forced by economics to pick German cars that will still exist after hundreds of thousands of miles of driving. Simple economics prevails in their decision.
 
Has anybody here noticed how many old VWs there are out there on our roads?Where ever I look I see old BMWs and Benzes here in Canada and overseas. There's a very good reason for that and it is because durability is one attribute that German auto makers excel in.
 
Who on earth would want to keep an unreliable VW for over 10 years? I myself would like to know why since longetivity and unreliability should be highly correlated but apparently that is not the case.
