Since I do not live that far away from Stuttgart I have to visit this new wonder of Mercedes within the next few weeks together with my sons.

I loved my Benz for the firs 150K miles, then I started to have trouble with it. One thing after another. First the wipers had to be replaced, then the floor mats and then the air pressure in the spare needed to checked. I don't know if I'll ever buy another.(/s)

I hope they are going to have a display of gas vans that they used to kill Jews and other inferiors durring WWII, in the interest of historic accuracy of course.

May they have an appropriate tribute to the great Juan Fangio - the Argentine who went from bus driver to Mercedes' world champion road-circuit driver. That was an era of class in people, places and race-cars.

Okay, I must get in on this one! My dad is from "Gundersheim" (I dont know if that is the right spelling) just outside of Worms. He is one of the guys who brought Mercedes Benz to America! He was with them for 42 years and retired in 1993. I beg my father to write a book or at least jot down some memories because the stories are so interesting!

Enjoy the museum, if you have a digital camera I would love to see some pictures posted of my three favorite Benzes:
the 1928-29 SSK/SSKL roadster
the 1937 W125 Grand Prix car
the racing version of the 300SL gullwing (it's the car in the back in the image you posted)

Is Mercedes going to put their competitors' products, such as BMW or Porsche on the display there as well?
Never liked Mercedes much. A bit too showy and many gadgets are "add-ons" which cost a fortune. BMW is more honest folks and the price is more reasonable. My Dad drives one and it has give him a reliable service.
