My friend who actually works on Mercedes-Benz cars for a living, (everyday for 40 yrs. including dealer shop foreman experience in the '70s/'80s up to today), has an expression that is used a lot back in the service dept., "engineered like no other POS on earth..."

In the 70's by father and I restored a 1956 300Sc Mercedes, only 98 were built.
This car is very complex took 7 years to restore. I was still doing the final assembly before putting her on the trailer the night before she was going to Pebble Beach, they were saluting Mercedes that year. We won first in class and the car was voted one of the 10 most elegant cars at Pebble
