Mercedes is still engineering oriented. Always will be. You can't be a leader in automotive innovation, especially in safety integration, without being engineering-oriented.

Further proof: Mercedes has produced more than 80,000 in the past 125 years.

It can be easy to confuse innovative, forward thinking companies with engineering oriented companies. In the case of the three companies you mention (Lotus, McLaren and Koenigsegg) don't they use someone else's drivetrain in their cars? How is that being engineering oriented?
