I got my first back in 1970, a 1968 280 sedan in ivory w/ red interior.
I remember that the automatic shift setup was backwards, meaning P was down where low gear usually is and vice versa.
Neat car...

My 12th Mercedes
My GLK is one of my favorites and the distinct chiseled styling is the end of an era for Merecedes. Maybe it is just me but MB is starting to look more like all the Asian cars - just generic bubbles.

First MB
Agree 110%. New ones look like '90's Ford Taurus'. Back in the day everyone tried to emulate the MB look, now it seems things have reversed. Old school vs new school management. Happened to my company also which had a lot to do with my retiring early before I got into trouble.

Was my first and based on my experience I hope it won't be my last. Wife is in love with the "S" class. Told her the "E" was more her size.

Like others, I chose "lost track" because there was no other option. When we take delivery of our 2014 GKL 250 BlueTEC in a month or so, it will be our seventh M-B.

This is a great question and I see that I'm in the majority having the GLK as my first Mercedes product. I think Benz has hit the nail on the head with this model and has me considering an SLK as well.

And to think... my first car was a 1964 Chevy Corvair. Long, long list of cars since then; some good, some not so good. Still love my 2004 Mazda RX-8 though.

2010 GLK350
My first post, and yes my 2010 GLK350 was my first MB! The styling really appealed to me and the SUV platform is almost a must here in Edmonton with our crazy winters. I went to see the one I have now on the lot and it had all the options I wanted, so I had to jump on it quick!
I was looking at an SLK too but the GLK is much more practical.
Here it is after a nice waxing last summer:
I came from domestics, and we still have our 2006 smart fortwo cdi (if you want to consider this a Mercedes, then the GLK is actually my 2nd!)

2014 GLK 350
My first MB and definitely not the last! Trying to talk the other half into trading in his car for a MB, not sure which one yet.
Not new to the luxury lineup though, 1st car was a Jaguar XJ6...loved that thing even though it felt like it spent more time in the shop than in my driveway!

2014 GLK350
My first post and first MB, as of 3 weeks ago. I've always enjoyed the German automobile experience to the Japanese, having had multiple VWs throughout the years and one Audi versus a few Japanese brands. We were in a position to get the GLK350 and are having no regrets about our decision. Now if my wife would just let me drive it a little more.....
