  | JD-Power: 2008 MB S-Class quality overview  Performance and Design: Taken from the Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) study, this measure is based on owner satisfaction with vehicle Performance, Style, Features and Instrument Panel, and Comfort. Quality: Taken from the Initial Quality Study (IQS), which looks at owner-reported problems in the first 90 days of new-vehicle ownership, this score is based on problems that have caused a complete breakdown or malfunction, or where controls or features may work as designed, but are difficult to use or understand. Dependability: Taken from the Vehicle Dependability Study (VDS), which looks at owner-reported problems in the first 3 years of new-vehicle ownership, this score is based on problems that have caused a complete breakdown or malfunction of any component, feature, or item (i.e., components that stop working or trim pieces that break or come loose).  --->>JDPower.com | S-Class Ratings

| Re: JD-Power: 2008 MB S-Class quality overview Geeezze Zeus almighty! Crazy result for first few years production run. The predicted reliability is just that, and they probably only base it on the W220. |

| Re: JD-Power: 2008 MB S-Class quality overview Predict the reliability of the W221, based on the W220's hopeless reliability record, is utterly, utterly ridiculous. The W220 didn't feel opulent and sumptuous as an S-Class should feel; It was Daimler-Chrysler's timid response, to those who criticized the W140 for being too much of a good thing. So while the W220 brought many technological innovations and it was easier to park than its predecessor, the car didn't work exactly... how should I put this... err... properly like the W140 did. An S-Class in an unreliable car list? Wait! What?! An S-Class in the list of the "best" problem money can buy?! A car that always represented the pinnacle of excellence in automotive quality?! Oh dear... Plainly, then, Mercedes-Benz knew they HAD to get the W221 right in every single detail the W220 had failed and I'm delighted to report, they succeeded!
