Mercedes Kicks Butt Once Again

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, that's right - Mercedes has once again  
showed their supreme dominance in the world of automakers by  
obliterating their poor, feeble, helpless competitors.

Was that dramatic or what?  After writing all these Mercedes awards  
stories, I wanted to add a little spice to this one.

Ok - this time, I'll try it for real.

Mercedes has chalked up two more automotive awards from the BBC  
television show/magazine Top Gear, one for the sexy yet practical CLS  
four-door coupe, and one for the well-established, always-dominant S- 
Class.

The CLS paved the way for Mercedes in the Top Gear awards, taking top  
honors in the "Luxury Car of the Year" category due to its practical  
four-seat accommodation wrapped in a taut, beautiful bodyshell.   
According to James May, one Top Gear's hosts: "To our minds, no car  
has ever struck the balance between capability and devil-may-care  
good looks quite as well as the Mercedes CLS.”

Not to be outdone by its younger sibling, the new S-Class took home  
"Limousine of the Year," based on its ability to set the automotive  
standard for quality, technology, ability and refinement.  Again,  
quoting Mr. May, the new S-Class was “…pushing the outside of the  
envelope of true repose on every conceivable level – including a fair  
few that the rest of us hadn’t thought of…”

And there you have it.  Two more awards, and both come as zero  
surprise to me.

I'll take one of each this Christmas please.
