I don't know why I never really got into Mercs. I love brands with pedigree and history, Mercedes is full of that. Something about their styling and driving character never resonated with me. Their golden age with models the W126, W140, R107 etc were before my time. Growing up Mercs tended to feel cheaply built and now they make way too many watered down models that are far too common.

I'd certainly like to own a Mercedes at some point, but it will likely be a classic. Maybe a W126 or R107. My buddy had an 86 500SL in red on palomino with chrome-plated wheels and it was beautiful. Classic Mercedes bank vault doors and proper old money look.
