Default Re: Mercedes eye-roll. Need opinions

I don't know if I've weighed in on this topic before, though I am sure I've seen it a thousand times. My two cents is that when someone asks about it, I tell them it's a Chrysler Crossfire. If they seem further interested (i.e., 'what's under the hood, how fast does it go, etc.) I give them the appropriate answer. I think of my car as what it is... kind of a ******* child of both Chrysler and MB. But since it says it is a Chrysler, it is a Chrysler. If someone asks what kind of engine it has, I tell them it's a 3.2L MB engine.

I wouldn't feel comfortable saying it IS a Mercedes, because any nancy boy can see the Chrysler badges or search the internet and find that it is not (at least not REALLY, though in most respects it is). So I think honesty is the best policy for me. It's a Chrysler with a buttload of Mercedes thrown in.
