Hey Bill.
I hope the cars are made a little better than the Mercedes. A friend of mine has an ML430. After a little over a year of driving and 107,000 miles, the transmission exploded internally. The reason for the amount of miles is that he is a travelling salesman, but he drives mainly on the highway. I don't see why the transmission should have done what it did, although the transmission does lack drain and fill plugs! You can not change the fluid it without having to take it completely apart.
Something just strikes me as wrong with that thinking.
Paul
