AND the reason why mercedes are so unreliable is beacause they crammed so much stuff to keep alive and comfortable inside....

Sorry, but many of these reliability issues are completely unrelated to the Merceses' supposedly-uber advanced safety systems, and include various types of powertrain failures, especially related to the 7G-Tronic transmission (which is notorious for getting stuck in a specific gear). Some of these failures could actually be safety
hazards, such as the air suspension and "brake by wire" systems failing while the car is moving, which has happened and has been the subject of several recalls. Modern Mercedes even score lower in terms of body integrity and corrosion resistance.
If you want a safe
and reliable luxury car, your best bet is a Lexus.
