ADAC and Mercedes-Benz reliability

[gbg]

I just saw this and was really surprised:

Mercedes-Benz is one of the winners in this year’s compilation of breakdown statistics by the German motorists’ association ADAC. The brand’s passenger cars received top marks in three automotive categories.

since when Mercedes is more reliable than BMW, Audi, Honda and Toyota?

totally the opposite if you see this topic: http://www.motorworld.net/forum/show...ht=reliability

so, does this ADAC compilation really makes any sense?
