Hi Everyone, I hope to soon take delivery of my 2018 Mercedes E Class Cabriolet. I haven't come up with a name for her. What did you name your Mercedes?

 

My silver 2004 E320 was Madeline, then my black 2006 CLK500 was Gabrielle and now my black 2011 E550 is Eleanor.

 

My Tectite Grey E500 was named Alexa by her former owner, a friendly British chap.
I liked it so that is what I call her.

 

I guess I’ll name it after my wife, Cindy. “Cindy’s car”. It’s hers, not mine. I only had to pay for it.

 

Why is it that people refer to cars as "she"? Having lots of power is a masculine thing, so cars should be male and not female, right?

 

I hope I don't incite a sexist argument for replying to this. I, however, speculate, in my humble and chauvinist frame of mind, it has to do with what you want to ride or what you like to pamper. For me, my cars are like my women and require a lot of maintenance. Just kidding. I do like to take care of my cars.... And I enjoy it when a woman allows me to appreciate her.

 

2018 E400C, Indigo Blue. Love the color, which is almost black, so the car is now named "Blue."

 

My steel-grey E400 4Matic sedan is named "Gonzo."

Think of the Muppet character, Gonzo. He is kind of blue-grey in color. His nose is longer than his tail. He will do some REALLY FREAKY things when you push his buttons! Made perfect sense to me.

Also, my Gonzo is kind of a pig, so it must be a "he." His side of the garage looks like a baby elephant has been playing in the mud, snow and water. In contrast, my wife's GLK occupies the other side of the garage "Cutie's" side of the garage is clean enough to be our living room. Gonzo runs through the puddles and slobbers it all up his flanks. Cutie tip-toes through it and hardly shows a drop.

 

Nice!

 

My Tannite Gray (olive gray) e350 Cab MB is called “Olive”, because in the sun, she is metallic olive green.

 

2001 Magma Red SL500 - R129 name is Red Rocket
2005 Black SL500 - R230 name is The Black Mobile
2011 Mars Red E550 - C207 name is Red Bonnet

The youngest out of the bunch stays covered in the driveway when not in use

 

My wife calls her white cabriolet Kirby. That is because she insist on parking next to a curb in a mall or box store parking lot. Thus only exposing one side to the careless door opener.
