Mercedes

THE undisputed leader in luxury. Mercedes-Benz has been and always will be the blueprint for all other luxury car companies out there. While companies like Lexus and Jaguar have tried to emulate the Mercedes magic, they're never able to capture the timeless grace and elegance of a Benz. While their US offerings are messy (see the E class and compare it with the European model, we don't even get AMG line interiors,) and their cars are expensive to maintain, a Mercedes, like a Lexus but unlike a BMW, will last you until the very end of the world. Snobs will say their new cars are ugly and overrated but I wholeheartedly disagree. Mercedes continues to innovate with industry firsts, new technology, and cutting edge interior and exterior design. A used one is excellent value for the money. Simply put, the very best car in the world. Nothing will ever compare to a Mercedes.
