..... Here in Alabama the ......Mercedes ......plant......
I am not going to argue one bit about the Alabama plant but German engineers are arrogant with their attitude.
My wife had a Mercedes, one of their first models with a cup holder. Mercedes was about the last company in the world to have cup holders.
Well, they put it over the CD player.
After going thru a drive thru at a fast food restaurant my wife placed a cup in the cup holder. The cup dripped into the CD player and ruined it.
I complained to the dealer that it was poor engineering to put the cup holder above the CD player. The dealer sent my comments into Mercedes.
Mercedes engineering replied that the engineering of the cup holder was perfect and the issue was with the cup!
