times new roman is preaty dam close, i dont think it can get much closer, if its just not exactly what they used. judge for yourself.
Close but no cigar. I'm sure that is not TNR. First, that font was invented by Microsoft w/in the past 10-20 years and MB has been using that font for about 50 years, I believe. Second, logo developers can spend years and $millions kerning fonts and developing logos like that. IMO

There is a website called FontFinder or something like that, people look at it and then post the name.
It would help if you had the entire adobe font library in order to do the comparison.

True, but even that I believe would not begin to represent all the font sets out there. Microsoft designed an entire font family called True Type, ITC offers a large and incredibly versatile typeface family, then there's PostScript and OpenType font products, and the list goes on. On top of that there are probably thousands of "private" font creators w/ smaller families. The New Times Roman is a True Type font--one of the most common--and I think unlikely to be the MB logo font; but I would be interested in hearing from others, more knowledgeable than I.
MB uses Corporate A Light as their primary Logo font. That is the one on your sample and on the brochures. The least expensive place to order it is on the link below. Type in Mercedes Benz in the "Change Sample Text" and you can verify.
When Adobe embarked on OpenType they made an agreement with all of the other major type foundries. In essence the Open Type library is the complete commercial set from the big 5.
