3 Merc Models recipients of the J.D. Power and Associates Award for Highest Ranked IQS


After all the rumors and accusations hurled at Chrysler for tainting the immaculate image of German luxury car brand, Mercedes-Benz,--- here comes J.D. Power and Associates announcing that Merc has obtained three awards for the highest ranked in segment vehicle quality----which is not really surprising if you ask me.

Aside from the three awards, J.D. Power results also show that Mercedes-Benz is one of the brands that demonstrated the most dramatic increase in ranking of any manufacturer included in the study. Moreover they also said that Mercedes car models have improved significantly, and the extent and speed of these developments clearly shows the commitment to quality of the German luxury brand.

For this year the recipients of the J.D. Power and Associates Award for highest ranked initial quality were E-, S-, and SL-Classes. These three Mercedes models led in the following segments: Midsize Premium Car, Large Premium Car and Premium Sporty Car respectively.
According to the Mercedes-Benz USA President and CEO Ernst Lieb, "We are delighted to have J.D. Power and Associates recognize Mercedes- Benz with these awards." He also added, "This recognition is a result of the intense efforts we have made to return product quality perception and customer satisfaction to the levels we have historically enjoyed. In every aspect of our business, our focus is on meeting and exceeding our customers' expectations. At Mercedes-Benz it's about delivering the customer's dream." ---very well said Mr. CEO.
