I like MB but this is too soon....Hold to the next cars coming from both sides BMW: 2 series , I series, 3GT. From MB GLA, CLA, New S sedan, revamped E sedan and then wait at least 1 year before to say that MB can own that award. Now, that Article said "Helped" by updated GLK and C class, But what about NEW 5, 3, 1 series, updates X1 New X3 and updated 7 series. For some reasons the 5 series is not doing as well as predicted..the flagships M5 and M6 affected by Oil pumps issue is impacting the reputation even if the issue is in just a few cars of the M family.
