I would rather have an enema than own a Mercedes. Maybe this snobbery
appeals
to Americans, but Mercedes, IMNSHO, is a troublesome overengineered piece of
shjit.

It has even been classified by CR as one of the poorest buys with respect to
reliability.

SUVs are something etched into the minds of soccer moms and almost-ran
junior corporate
executives.

I wouldnt buy a Furd XC90, or an Audi Q7, and for damn sure wouldnt buy
a Cataract Escapade.

Gas drops a few dimes a gallon and Americans start frenzy feeding again.

The new Mercedes-Benz GL- and R-Class luxury sport utility vehicles
outpointed competitors from Volvo, Audi, and Cadillac in tests for the
November issue of Consumer Reports. The GL- and R-Class posted "Very
Good" overall scores in tests against the Volvo XC90, Audi Q7, and
new 2007 Cadillac Escalade. Though the Volvo, Audi, and Cadillac
finished lower in the scoring, those three vehicles still posted
"Very Good" scores.
