Re: Mercedes-Benz to defeat Lexus by 2008.

Sounds good, but some of it seems to be at odds with MB has been doing lately with some of their cars. Sportier handling, steering, brakes etc. have all been done in recent months, but this is good for MB because it was never about matching handling with BMW/Audi it was about exceeding them in quality, comfort, engineering and safety.

I'm not worried about any of that because the S-Class shows that Mercedes is still on its best game.

Beating Lexus in these surveys though is another matter. I don't see how they can do it in just 2 more years. Cordes made this same type of promise and then had to go back on it.
