I guess someone should tell them that:
1. The LS is in its last year of the current design and sales are always slower in this last year.
2. How do TOTAL LS/Lexus U.S. Sales compare to E/MB? (Not % increase/decrease)
3. How's J.D. Powers been treating you lately?

Those guys are sooo funny, I guess they sweep threads like this undert the rug
M/B usual reliability woes
I'm not a basher because I think M/Bs are nice looking vehicles (especially that E55).
Why are so many of them so tough on Lexus owners? Is it because we only go to the shop for scheduled maintinence, while they have thier calls and mail forwaded to the service area waiting room?
I was thinking about a 00 E 320 at one point, and they all just have poor reliability. I think Cadillac was above M/B on the problems per 100 cars index!!!
What do you all think, is reliability one of the benefits of a expensive car or should you just accept a 60-130k vehicle that doesnt work because it has "passion"?

BTW, my car stalled on me this morning and would not start.. MB is getting it towed 50 miles to get it looked at. I am on here because I am waiting for my loaner vehicle to arrive and them to take my car.
Just thought you might wanna know.

While i'm not a big fan of people doing lexus bashing, you have fallen into the "trap" of being brought to the level of the bashers by becoming bashers yourselves. I don't approve of these cross forum posts very much because of the trouble they bring.
1. I expect everyone here to be above that.
2. I expect this to stay clean.
Let's be bigger than that and let the little minions be "themselves".

If you present things in a non threating or accusory (sp) manner, you can say whatever you want, and it will not offend anyone, look at the outcome of my post.
LEXUS AND M/B GET ALONG- Who woulda thunk it?

Well we have some pretty short sighted people on this board as well. I'm sure many of the members in MB forum are young kids that own a MB only because their parents wouldn't let them drive anything else. Lets be TRUE lexus owners and show them why bought our Lexus' by not slandering them or their vehicles..
Its a "Who'z Got Class" thing

Me and Big D held it down!! hehe
I just noticed that the MB forum is hard for the eyes. Seems like your reading an essay when you scrolling through the forums. Way too many sub forums...
I'm just really glad CL is organized!! Great job MODS!!

MB makes some very impressive and nice looking cars but they don't have the quality and reliability to back up its name that had been the symbol of luxury cars for pretty much the whole century. I think some MB owners can't accept the fact that those MBs are not as reliable and good-quality like how they used to be in the early 90's and before that. Older 80's Benz's are holding up better than the new 2000+ MBs.
But I'll still take MB over BMW
