My neighbor and SIL drive Benz and they are notoriously unreliable and the dealership here in town could care less. They can suck it with their every other car on the road popularity as well. Do I appreciate an S63, 65..sure. Would I own one? Never.
Due in Feb.

That's not really accurate Mark. In the past, for sure. But 2007-present they've increased their market share and gone from the rankings near Range Rover (who has the WORST reputation via CSI) to the top ten in just 5 years.
Beyond that MB sales are thru the roof, whole line up is fresh models with exciting features.
The reality is people are on cruise control bashing MB products and praising the likes of Lexus- that it's just like voting in politicians.
- I'm sorry to say, people are like sheep and rarely do they delve into the data to bring themselves up to speed.
Whats more likely? Lexus is JUST now having reliability issues and sales are struggling due to that and the boring line up?
Or they've always had issues just like a lot of other manufacturers and a boring line-up- : it's just people haven't been 'shown' the reality of the situation until Lexus had the media really shed light into their issues?
It might not be that black and white; but it certainly doesn't happen over night. Last month, Lexus sales were down by 16%. While MB sales were UP over 22%. Even VOLVO was up by over 300%.
Ironically, people LOVE RR; all they need to fix, is the reliability of their vehicles.
