This is about as basic a newbie question as there can be!

What do owners of this brand (notice how I'm avoiding using any term here!) refer to the brand as?

Do you say "Mercedes", "Mercedes-Benz", "Benz", "EM-BE", "MERK", or something else?

Mercedes. Benz is the company that built the gas chambers. Just plain old Mercedes.

In Germany people who are proud about their car say 'my Mercedes'. In a more disrespectful meaning they say 'he is driving an old Benz'.

Other opinions about this ?
