I know this is personal taste, but I just dont get that whole 'powered by MB' stuff...

MB make very nice cars - but nothing special and very much 10 a penny here...

Perhaps it is a european thing... but to me... I like the idea of driving a 'very american' car - looks so different to all the others.

The merc convertibles here (and everywhere I suspect ) are driven mostly by women of a certain age who shop and 'do lunch'... so why attach yourself to that crowd ?

Don't get me wrong, I was pleased to find out that the mechanics are solid and reliable - but that's just it - they are solid and reliable... and duuullll.

Am I missing something ?
