Here are a few ideas for actual "names" for current MB models:
S class; Has to be stately, at first I though a retro name like "Grosser Mercedes", but without the translation doesn't sound good. Maybe just "Grand Mercedes" here in the US would be better. Sounds a little like "Grand Marquis" though.
On the E, I've always thought of the E as being an exucutive's car, so maybe something like that, but more European, so maybe "Exekutiv"? No idea if that spelling is correkt at all. Or maybe "Elegance", that sounds klassy.
The C class, have to think that it's an entry level car, I was thinking something like "Debut" (but pronounce it like the Brits-Day-boo). Could be worse, how about "Virgin"?
M class. Hmmm, tough one. How about naming after some famous explorer? No, don't name it Explorer, that's taken. Columbus? Maggelan? Neil Armstrong? Perry? I know, go with the M initial, name the M class Maggelan (I'm purty sure the spellin' is wrong on that name), and I think the G class should be named after Daimler, call it the Gottlieb.
I'm not up on the A class. Ain't that the one that failed that moose-avoidance test? Maybe they can make people forget that if the call it "Stable", but the name is reminiscent of the Mercury Sable, so have to be careful. Mercedes has a small van called the Sprinter, that's a kind of neat name, maybe they could use that.
