MB is the inventor of cars. They had a stellar reputation as top quality for decades. Then when they bought Chrysler they had a management level decision to skimp on quality and maximize profits. The quality of MB dropped to that of French cars or Fiats, just garbage.
They are still struggling to regain any level of quality. My wife drove Mercedes for many years but her 1999 E320 was the last. She drove an Infinity G35x for several years and loved it except pitiful gas mileage. She loves the quality of her Macan.
Mercedes is like Audi to me, a car I would have as a company car that I don't have to pay for or maintain.
Mercedes had the first supercar the 1956 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing. They have built many supercars since, but I guess they are done with that level of car.
