Re: [MBZ] For AZ Bob

[clay monroe via Mercedes]

I have seen both of these in the PnP.   While the Kia has shown great increases 
in build and quality.  The Mercedes cars no longer are quality examples we know 
and drive.  They have become on par with a Hyundai or  Kia of comparable 
vintage.  Sad truth, which is why very few of us will see a Mercedes younger 
than the W124 reach the exalted million mile mark.

Its not really a car for us, it's for the toaster driving public which is a 
much larger market.

Depending upon the vintage, they rival what is coming out of Mercedes factories 
in the A and C classes.   Lower end of the Korean selection.  Hyundaia-eh makes 
the top end stuff that competes with E and S class sedans.  The Koreans make a 
good approximation to the M class suv.  Probably better build quality though

Who knows anything about Kia?  I drove a Sportage after the hit and run on
my 300TD sent the car to the shop.  Not bad, but a little boring.

2004 Outback.  I looked for forums the other day but I got distracted. 

I owned one in the early 80’s. It was awesome.

What model? I found a good Forester forum.
Actually they're not bad cars, just different. Like any other vehicle, they 
have weak points. Once they are attended to, they are fine driving appliances, 
I'm sure.

Where we’re these a couple of weeks ago? 

I think I sometimes get into the mode of looking only for diesel and overlook 
these. 

I’m still struggling sorting out this Subaru.
