Hi there,

It is well known that Mercedes built in the late 80's and early 90's were superbly engineered and will last forever given the correct care and attention. I have also heard that during the 90's Mercedes build quality and reliability went down hill considerably. What was the reason for this? Cost cutting? Increased production numbers?

Have Mercedes done anything in recent years to restore confidence in existing and potential owners that the cars they build are, again, amongst the best in the world?

All the best.

Martin.
