Of course the C-Coupe is a real Mercedes. Who it's marketed to, and what price it's offered at has nothing to do with what a "Mercedes" is. It's a car, pure and simple - nothing more, nothing less. Anyone that thinks that it's more than that should take a trip to Europe where you will see Mercedes taxi cabs all over the place.

The C class is made by Mercedes. Is the CLK that is made by Karmann and the G class made in Austria by another firm, are those true MB's or just sold by MB dealers?

Exactly, so you are saying the CLK designed and built by Karmann and the G-class designed and built by the another company are definetely not true Mercedes then. I knew it, now I want one, a non-Mercedes Mercedes. Now is the Crossfire a true Mercedes because it was design in partner ship with the Chrysler and built by MB? Or is it a half-truth ******* child car? Which is more a true Mercedes, the CLK or the Crossfire?

there's no need to debate the crossfire since i don't see a star on it and noone would argue in favor of it being an MB anyway (even if it might be).

truelove, I for one, understand the unique nature of your original post. You were simply passing along an example of "relativity" for us to ponder.
Mercedes-Benz has a fleet of lawyers assigned with protecting the use of the Mercedes-Benz name. Ask them if each of these examples are "real" Mercedes-Benz's, and you'll get an obvious answer.

Amdeutsch, I said sells at an MB dealer, so if they sold Fords with the 3 point star and gave me the same treatment then it's a Mercedes to me.

This was back in the 80s, so of course, a lot could have changed between now and then.
