Mercedes-Benz has been having a great year and it just keep getting better. J.D. Power and Associates’ Initial Quality Study has proven that Mercedes is the most successful car brands this year. With that being said, we are proud to announce that because of this success Mercedes has been awarded three awards for the highest ranked in segment vehicle quality. These awards assure the consumer that Mercedes is all about quality.
This year, the Mercedes-Benz E-, Mercedes-Benz S- and Mercedes-Benz SL-Classes were recipients of the J.D. Power and Associates Award for highest ranked initial quality. These Mercedes models ranked highest for initial quality in their competitive segments, Midsize Premium Car, Large Premium Car (in a tie) and Premium Sporty Car, respectively.
The 2007 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class is a luxury sedan that was created to look like a coupe. The gorgeous styling comes at the expense of big-sedan practicality. The funny thing is, the CLS isn’t as expensive as it looks. We were surprised to learn that the CLS starts well under $70k. Considering the CLS’ unique styling, powerful engine, quiet ride, top-of-the line safety features and gadgets galore, people expected the base price to be well above $80k, more once you started piling on the options.
The Mercedes G-Class is one of the most enduring models from Mercedes-Benz. It was first introduced in 1979, the G hardly looks different than the model that debuted 28 years ago. It has been given many enhancements, and Mercedes has just announced another slew of updates that will keep this original SUV relatively “fresh” for even longer.
