Have been reading MB E-series 2008 model year reviews at numerous sites.One troubling site is "Yahoo" MB reviews.Have noticed that the site is moderated & the moderator is deleting all negative posts about MB.I've seen 2 reviews which were removed within 48 hrs of being posted by the owner. This is really a shame & reflects the poorest marketing strategy. In fact it's downright dishonest! Don't worry, I'm not basing judgement of MB by Yahoo postings...nor should anyone else. It's just unfortunate because it simple cheapens MB.

Maybe it's not as simple as removing any bad criticism. While I was shopping around about a year ago, I also had a look a Yahoo, and found the same negative poster in reviews for various DIFFERENT models of Mercedes. Always the same extremely negative reviews. The only problem was that all these reviews were for totally different models and years. So if his Mercedes was so bad, why did he buy so many different Mercedeses to have the same problem on all. And he was so stupid as to use the same name in all the different models. So maybe he's on the loose again.

No wonder sometimes I don't trust any of these reviews from people or even from Consumer Reports. They get so biased sometimes and destroy the true picture. A car could be great all the time but one issue or a few (big/small) could make somebody so frustrated that they end up posting "Negative" review which is so low... But if the same issues happened to other car makers (you know them...) it wouldn't be as bad!!!
