Yeah I read a similar article on the BBC website as well.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, they don't make em like they used to.

You know what? I'm seriously considering replacing my IS200 with a CLS320CDI in the new year...or a BMW 535d Sport.
Replacement car has to be a diesel- doing too many miles otherwise I would be looking at a petrol Lexus (GS300 or GS430).

Our CLS has been pretty much bulletproof so I would say Mercedes reliability is back to what it was.

Nice. I'm looking at CLS's of 2005/2006/2007 vintage- are there any problems that I need to look out for?
Does yours have the COMMAND system? What's it like?

Marsdendean why not a GS450H.
I do like the GS450h and I did test drive a new one recently, but I'll be keeping the car for 5 years or more and I would be buying a used GS450h, so what I want to know is how reliable is the hybrid system- guess what I am asking is would the hybrid system on the GS be still working when the car is 10 or 12 years old?
I do tend to buy a car at 3-5 years old and get rid when they are 10 + years old.

Problem with merc & BMW, everything is added on, and added on. Electric seats = extra, mats = extra, room to breath=extra, good think with the lexus, you only can add on certain things like active cruise control, paint, otherwise its an S,SE,SE-L or sport
It's a problem when you buy lower end models like the C class and 3 series, but not so much with the higher end models as most buyers tend to spec these up with at least the basics. It's hard to find a higher end Merc that doesn't have leather, comand, electric seats, etc as people don't want a car like that without that stuff.
