Thanks for posting the link. A very interesting video.

I still kind of like the "idea" that mine comes from Germany but with all the automation and tooling that we can see in the video, I am sure that the quality levels between the different MB plants are all up there.

The quality data has shown that SA has produced the highest quality C Classes of the MB plants.

Either way I'm happy mine is made in Germany.

Definitely prefer it over the Malaysian CKD ones!

No....actual valid quality assessment of the plant, earning it an award. This topic has been extensively discussed on another forum and the details were supplied.
