I did and has not been since the introduction EU Compliance requirements.
Nor has its rust proofing and paintwork been of an acceptable standard John.
You might know more if you worked for M.B.
The last generally acceptable M.B. was the W124 Model which CEASED in 1995/96.
It was followed by the W210 and W202 both of which had rust and paintwork problems unbecoming of a M.B.
Their current marketing slogan is "the best or nothing" which makes us Lexus owners want to laugh all the way back to Mount Fuji.

That reminds me of an abundance of Paddy Joke--none of which we would be allowed to get away with now.BMW,
MERC and VW have all been guilty in the recent past of fitting substandard timing chains and leaving the customer to pay for resultant damage/ repairs.
I put it in my M.B. once a month. I cannot vouch for it one way or another but my M.B. passed its M.O.T. YESTERDAY having covered 247,053 miles on original engine.

It appears to be easier to pass a Camel through the eye of a needle than to introduce sequential numbering on the Forum.
I`m sorry if I confused you Sergio. I know exactly where it is but as others on this forum know I have requested over a number of years Mods/Admin to introduce a sequential numbering facility which exists in many forums, (but not this or Toyota). If it had been introduced it would enable Members to identify easily with Postings to which reference was being made. I was merely making the point yet again.

Anyway, we are all different, but as with the rest of us you will enjoy the Lexus.
