主题：买车求助。请各位兄弟帮忙 -- 煮酒正熟

at least based on Consumer Report survey.

In 2003-2006, Benz suffered from many component problems(mainly electrics) and was complained a lot. I lived in the O.C. then and several friends told me that they regretted for picking Benz.

Audi is NOT as good as Toyota Lexus. They are in the same niche of mid-to-up class.

Toyota suffered a major recall due to its poor AMERICAN SUPPLIER(brake). Its cars made and imported from Japan did not suffer from the same problems.

BTW, Germans use different production process when they make low-end brands (VW, Opel) vs. high-end brands (Porche, BMW and Benz).
