| Distinguished - BHPian  | Re: Vintage & Classic Mercedes Benz Cars in India Wow it's amazing that a personal collection made it to the official home page of Mercedes Benz India. Deserves it. I believe they should also add in collections / articles on the Subhash Sanas collection (A visit to Subhash Sanas Vintage Car Museum, Pune) and our very own Gogi too |

| Re: Vintage & Classic Mercedes Benz Cars in India  As usual was going through car videos in Youtube, when I again bumped into "Motomobi" channel. Last time I saw it was for the Innova scoop they did before the car was launched.Came across E class and S class videos, and was pleasantly surprised by the nicknames given to each model in the Indonesian market. The Ponton W120 E class and W180 S class were both called as Merci Kentang, meaning "Potato"    The Fintail W110 and W111 were called as "Batman"   The W115 E class was known as "Merci Mini" - mini Mercedes  The evergreen W123 is known as "Merci Tiger"  The W124 was known as Boxer.  The unloved W210 was known by "New Eyes" for obvious reasons.  Coming to Sonderklasse , the W108 was known as the "Merci Buffalo" as they felt the size was big and bulbous.  The W116 was called as "Merci Barong"  And this is what a Barong looks like  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barong_(mythology) The legend W126 was known by the apt name: "Merci Eagle"  Guess by the late 90s they stopped the practice of naming each model, maybe cause of wider options or new luxury models. Or simply cause the new cars looked generic(?) or without character(?). Last edited by DicKy : 26th October 2017 at 22:45. |
