| Mercedes Benz has the proud distinction of being the oldest production
car company in the world. The first production car, the Benz Velo,
was made in 1894, the same year Babe Ruth was born. The Mercedes
Benz name now stands for luxury and top-of-the-line engineering,
except on the SUV models, where the name stands for shotty workmanship
and constant electrical problems. Oh well, at least some of their
cars are still nice. |
