I drove a Marauder once. It was fun. Did nice smokey burnouts. Owner of the car said it was lacking in power. I told him it needed an itailian tuneup. Ran much better afterwards.

I give mine one every time I drive it. The Vortech T trim helps too!

FWIW the merc milano is a sexy car. If I had to buy american and a sedan it would probably be that sled.

I have a co-worker who is from the UK. He always refers to Mercedes as Mercs. He says that it is a European 'term'. I have picked it up over time just because it is shorter. Call me lazy.

FYI. In Europe, the word "Merc" is a short name for these prestigious and legendary cars - it's only here in America where we confuse it with the Mercury, etc...

Incidently a BENZ as in a reference to a diesel car is another misnomer as it stems from the German word benzine - meaning gasoline, so I think "Merc" is a better name...

MercFan... hehe
