In the Middle East
It does seem to me like people in the Middle East drive a disprportionately high percentage of MB's. That seems like good advertising for Mercedes. "If our cars can stand up to day-tp-day driving in a war zone, think how they'll fare in your town."

"Highest proprotion of Mercedes per other cars...higher than Germany!"
No doubt...wasn't Lebanon one of the "favorite" locations for Post-war German war criminals? Anything/one Anti-Jewish? Pro-SS? Why not import what's familiar? .
