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.
