When I was driving my Mercedes I would hear them all... People would call it a Nazi footlocker, Hitlermobile, Krautmobile - you name it.. You just sort of have to take it in stride when you drive a Mercedes because people either love them or they hate them, not really any in-betwen that I have come across. I always enjoyed mine and it worked hard for me over a decades time so I'll always have a soft spot for Mercedes.
