Mercedes-Benz, as you probably know, is a German luxury automaker, and one of the finest, if not the best, of its kind. You may trace the origins of this company back to 1886 and Karl Benz’s Benz Patent-Motorwagen, considered to be the first car in the world. The manufacturer’s slogan is “Das Beste oder nichts”, which translates roughly into English as “The best or nothing”.
Without a doubt, Mercedes has lived up to this phrase, and their topmost standards for as long as they’ve been around. Mercedes-Benz has always been and will be for years to come synonymous with quality, extravagance and luxury.
