I seriously do not get the allure of Mercedes Benz. Their cars are crap for performance unless they wear an AMG badge. No wonder they need so many driver aids.

did you see the top gear where they talk about some special edition mercedes, and how the engine has a plaque that says hand built by so and so. then Clarkson does the math based on how many people they have building engines (which was somehow a known figure) and how many of that car they produce, that 'so and so' was producing some impossibly large amount of engines per year.
