TrueDelta Reviews the Brand Reputation of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class

Mercedes-Benz E-Class Brand Reputation: Pros
YearComment
2014 I tend to ignore brand reputation and image, and this is reflected in my reviews. But there's just no way to ignore that a Mercedes is a Mercedes. Audi and BMW now command similar prices, but haven't yet acquired the same mystique. They probably never will for people born before 1980. This mystique cuts both ways. The three-pointed star makes too strong a statement for some people. see full Mercedes-Benz E-Class review

2003 2dr Coupe 305-horsepower 4.6L V8
5-speed manual RWD		 I see way too many of these things around. Most are the V6 variant which is just sad. I really feel like the wide variety of engines and packages dilutes the Mustang brand too much. I really think it is a poser car. see full Ford Mustang review
