@SacreDro The FIA-GT Championship from 1997 & 1998. The car is a CLK-GTR (but the one shown was the street version)

@xanderschwab there is no doubt that Mercedes-Benz has had its quality issue mostly of that is due to the chrysler merger chrysler was in the whole and mercedes spent all their money buying them so cutting quality to save money was the only way to pay the defficit and now the mercedes is getting the name back no matter what Mercedes-Benz is the only car that will stay in my heart

My family has always bought MB's, but every MB we've owned over the past 5-6 years has been taken to the dealership multiple times for petty malfunctions such as the trunk not closing and other pesky, yet outrageously expensive, things; and of-course the warranty wouldnt work for most of them. . I'm buying Audis or bmws for now on, MB has lost its appeal and durability. I'm getting the Audi s4 this summer bc I dont want the e63 (or any MB for that matter.) Anyone else having these problems?

I love MB but I a video of my 08 Yukon Denali outrunning a modded '11 C300 .. I know its not about speed when it comes to luxury cars, but I have 70k miles on my Denali (0 trips to the dealership,) and the interior is more comfortable than most benz imo.I was about to trade in my denali, so I drove a 11 fully loaded GL550 for two weeks and it had two VERY expensive "malfunctions" in that time and the aesthetics we'rent that great.
