But, i will say that the build quality was a country mile better on the old Mercs than it is now.
Getting into bed with Renault was never going to work well.
Funnily enough i've never heard one of our sales people mentioning that a lot of the range have French engines and share rather a lot of other parts.
There's your answer

And also because they look too 'aggressive', in the wrong way, in terms of exterior styling, and way too blingy on the inside! For me, since Mercedes tried to design cars to appeal to 'youngsters' [compete with BMW in that respect], and got it badly wrong, they've never really hit the spot. They should've stuck to what they were good at instead.

Don't get me wrong, I still rate C63AMGs, but more from the era of my Brabster, than the current ones, as I much prefer the older shape.
