Mercedes-Benz has always been regarded as
the choice of the privileged and the upper class. The mere sight of the
three-pointed star atop the radiator grille is enough to cause a sea of traffic
to part, the security guards to salute and the valet to give up the VIP parking
slot. Lately though, Mercedes-Benz has embarked on a diversification campaign,
creating almost every conceivable permutation it can make from four-door coupes,
to SUVs of varying sizes to even premium hatchbacks. Nowadays, every Tom, Dick,
and Harry can get a Mercedes-Benz that feels tailor-made to his budget, taste,
and lifestyle. Thankfully, Mercedes-Benz hasn’t lost sight on the cars that
made them successful in the first place.
