This Benz commands attention. Nearly every place that I took this car, people were asking about this vehicle. “What kind of car is this?” “If I could afford this car, I would get one today!” are just a few of the many compliments about this amazing automobile. Even while stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic, fellow drivers were giving me the thumbs up about the car.

Listen to this. When this Benz hears a crash coming, it can guard your hearing, and that’s because of PRE-SAFE Sound. If it senses an impending collision, it emits safe “pink noise” via the audio system to pre-trigger your ears’ natural defense against the loud noises of an accident.
