When
you think of excellence in the car industry, you think of Mercedes-Benz.
The company has shown itself to be one of the top manufacturers in
the world for quality, high-end cars. No other company has been able
to touch all the bases as Mercedes has in luxury cars, buses, vans,
trucks, and SUV's, along with its major involvement motor car racing.
Mercedes-Benz was originated in the 1880s by two men: Gottlieb Daimler
and Karl Benz. They invented the internal combustion engine powered
vehicle. What is funny about Mercedes-Benz is that the two originators
never even knew each other, though their work was almost directly
related. They both resided in Southwest Germany.
