2007 Mercedes-Benz C280 Avantgarde 4MATIC Road Test
Mercedes-Benz and its C-Class can trace their roots way back to 1886. This was the year that Gottlieb Daimler and Karl Benz literally invented the automobile albeit separately. Mr Benz had acquired a vast amount of wealth thanks to the two-stroke gas engine he had developed in 1879/80. So much so, that from 1883 on, he concentrated solely on creating a motorised road-going vehicle. He obviously succeeded in his endeavour and was awarded the Benz Patent Motor Car No. 1.
