I have to agree. My father bought me a 99 SLK 230, starmark certified etc. As I was comming back from Homecoming this past November, someone attemped to pass me and hit me (he was going roughly 70, i was at 35 -- the speed limit). My car aquaplaned and hit the guardrail over the Santa Ana River. The cops kept telling me that if I was in a Toyota or Honda, I would have been dead. They took me to the hospital, and after I got home, I got a call from Mercedes Benz asking how I was doing. That was kind of surprising. We ended up buying a 2001 C320 with the insurance money. And I am loving it!
