solid video . I have to admit I feel very safe in my Lexus. I really wish Mercedes would get their act together. Their cars are beautiful, powerful, and are still status symbols, but they are also a pain in the *** to own

I agree having owned a few Benz's. The new C-class is the first Mercedes in recent history to have the proper reliability engineering and testing and so far the payoff is showing up in reliability studies. Let's hope Mercedes stays on track with this and launches all new models only when ready for prime time.

Amazing. I like how it can withstand a 4000 lb crush to the roof like it's a simple roll over and this is a 20 year old car. In part 4 they throw a grenade in the car shot a cannon into it even after all that the door still opens, power are still there with the wiper still going on and on. At the end they put a couple stick of dynamite in the engine bay and blow it up and guess what happens....? the motor still works.

The GLK i hate because i just hate anything smaller than a RX.
The E-class has always been pretty damn good looking from the start i think. Generation after generation it's been pretty good.
