Intersting to hear that in the US the MB is felt to be the premier brand for image.? In the UK, MB have a bad reputation for after sales service, and is not held in such high estime.

Out of the German brands its probably BMW, then MB, then Audi.

My veiw of course....

The M-B brand has lost its good reputation do to severe rust problems as well as technical failures, for instance the brakes are deadly...

M-B is a Chrysler, Audi is a Volkswagen but BMW is a family own car and motorcycle manufacturing company, and a very profitable one.
OK, BMW does build also Mins and Rolls-Royce automobiles

When a company specializes only on motorvechicles and wants to be the best in its field the result maight be one the finest brands: BMW.
