One thing that's not talked about is, that the US models of german cars ARE in deed in many cases lower quality then what you buy in Europe.
I can't remember where are they put together but I was seriously warned not to get BMW if I wanted to use the (way cheaper) price that is in US for some Audi's / BMW's etc (cars in US are incredibly cheap anyway..). And I was warned from a guy who imports these cars (like Porsche Cayenne / BMW X3 etc.) here to Europe to sell them.
The whole Mercedes thing surprises me though, I can't imagine the guys in Germany beeing happy about this.. This brand is expensive / but also totally trusted around here.
If I would be to choose I would rather go with Lexus though / if not better technology for a lower price plus mercedes is not a car for a dude under 40 in my opinion..
