I loved mercedes when I was younger... But there were a few years there where their quality dropped and I started to like other makers..

For like, the top of the line, I would pick the Mercedes SLR... Their super super nice one..

But below that I kind of like BMW a little more..

Both seem to pretentious though.. Like your an upper class sales manager.. Or assistant manager for some little company..

I would like an Aston myself if I was getting up into the big bucks.. Or otherwise a new Honda or Nissan or something as my ultimate daily driver.. Something that doesn't attract to much attention or pretense..
