What were the old MB slogans?
I hear more and more about the poor quality of these newer models and I think the current slogan "Unlike any other car..." is appropriate considering the elevated quality of competition.
What were the old sales slogans? I remember one was "Engineered like no other car....". I guess that was when MB still had engineers. The new slogan "Unlike no other car..." probably means it was engineered without engineers.

I've got an ad out of a magazine from 12/79 for the 1980 model line. The tag line is the "Engineered like no other car in the world" but the "title" is "Why choose a Diesel from a line of cars when you can choose a Mercedes-Benz from a line of Diesels?" followed by "For 1980 Mercedes-Benz makes three different sedans, a station wagon, a coupe, three engines and two transmissions. And offers 44 years of Diesel experience."
Pretty cool!

How about "If you have to ask, you can't afford a Mercedes-Benz"

Those articles are cool and all...but they honestly seem very stale, and make the car seem like an appliance with no personality. Pretty long-winded as well. Dunno if I would be sold, were I a new car buyer in 1984.
Thanks for sharing, btw, Tyler.

I always liked the one that went something like this [paraphrased]
"Buy a [.......] because of what other people will think of it. Buy a Mercedes because of what YOU think of it."
