Oh, Richard. MUST you be so crass? It's not proper, for people of our standing in society.

Oh yeah, and on-topic.

I call mine "The S-Class" or "the Benz", depending on who I'm talking to.

If I hear or say "Merc" (in the USA, anyway) I'm talking about a Mercury. I ahve driven three cars I referred to as "The Merc". Two of them were Grand Marquis, one was a Cougar.

Hyacinth: [Phoning Daisy's house] Oh, it's you, Onslow, how are you? [Pauses while he answers] You needn't go into detail. This is merely an inquiry after your general health.[Pause] Well, if you wore a little more clothing you wouldn't get mosquito bites there, would you?
