Maybe they do, don't really know, haven't exactly thought about buying a car for its safety issues. It seems to be more of a given for me.
One thing MB cant match is the paint finish on Lexus vehicles apart from their designo range. The paint finish on Lexus always looks amazing

I wasnt on about the paint quality. Thats all well and good, i meant the actual finishing of the paint. The hand wet sanding certainly shows on lexus vehicles.

The pursuit of F
^^^Yeah, basically,with Lexus paint, most of their colors has depth. I remember my Bamboo Pearl Mica on the 2RX was the best definition of this. The paint gave off three different "colors" from silver, to beige, to a pale green, depending on lighting. Very complex, very luxurious and premium.
But it does seem to be more fragile (swirls, chips, etc) in my 6 Lexus' I've owned.

Mercedes paint is harder and won't show swirls as fast but all of their colors have terrible orange peel.
Mbrace2 is so expensive. I cannot believe they charge for app integration.

Wow, the CLA has gotten some brutal reviews; too much plastic, made in Hungary, has really cheapened Mercedes name in my eyes, but never a fan; remember the stiff saddle like leather the first time I rode in one!!

Mountain grey is called the same over here but steel grey is called tenorite grey in the UK.
Not a fan of grey tbh, they look OK, but not POP enough for me
