Nice find, saw them building some US specs. C-Classes. There was a spot where I spotted red brake calipers possibly for a C63!

Awesome video... thanks for sharing! It's amazing to see all the robots in action.

That was a good vid and the robots are amazing. I especially liked the one that put the dash in the car.

I'm a sucker for this stuff. The SLS Ultimate Factories is a little campy but cool to see.

It's always amazing to see videos like this and imagine all the engineering that goes into bringing a car from the drawing to the board production line.

By the way, it looks like all cars already have front plate holders on the bumpers already.

NICE..and thanks! Pretty cool..

This video reminded me of a story my Dad told me... He used to work on the assembly line at GM Motor Corp back in the late 70s in Detroit.
He told me 75% of the workers would be drinking and some completely DRUNK while on the job... and you wonder why American cars had so many problems and got a bad name!!! hahahahaahaha.

Again, thanks for the vid!!!
