“What are you waiting for? They come with the manual ~~ for free!”

Compared to more flexible and lighter Japanese cars designed for urban driving, German cars have more matured technologies. With very solid body, smooth and stable chassis, excellent engine and all kinds of advanced technologies, German cars are better driven on highways. Audi, BMW, Benz they are all good, no doubt, but what is the strong suit for each brand?

相比于灵活轻巧，更适合城市驾驶的日本车，德国汽车拥有更加成熟的技术。坚固的车身，扎实的底盘，优秀的发动机，先进的各种技术，让他们的性能优势在上了高速公路后变得明显。那么都是好车，奥迪宝马奔驰各自的优势都是什么呢？

名词解析：很多朋友会误认为SUV就代表越野车，其实SUV表示的是Sports Utility Vehicle多功能运动汽车。这种车只是在轿车的平台上略微增加了底盘高度与车身高度，兼顾轿车舒适性与速度的同时略微增加了坑洼地形通过性能。所以如果你是专业越野爱好者，喜欢穿越崎岖山路带来的快乐，最好还是准备一台专业级别的越野车吧！

Advancement Through Technology - Audi
进取科技-奥迪

The origins of the company are complex, going back to the early 20th century. The name is based on the Latin translation of the surname of the founder, August Horch. "Horch" means "listen" in German, which becomes "Audi" in Latin. The four rings of the Audi logo each represent one of four car companies that banded together to create Audi's predecessor company, Auto Union.
奥迪公司的起源比较复杂，可以追溯到20世纪早期。奥迪名字来自创始人姓氏的拉丁语名August Horch。Horch在德语里的意思为“聆听”,翻译成拉丁语就是Audi了。奥迪四环中的每一环都表示了创始奥迪前身“汽车联盟”的一家公司。

The modern era of Audi essentially began in the 1960s when Auto Union was acquired by Volkswagen. After relaunching the Audi brand with the 1965 introduction of the Audi F103 series, Volkswagen merged Auto Union , thus creating the present day form of the company.
奥迪的现代时期起始于大众公司收购汽车联盟的19世纪60年代。为了使品牌重新上线，1965年奥迪发布了F103系列车型，之后大众公司与汽车联盟合并，奥迪公司迎来新的阶段。

The Best Or Nothing - Mercedes-Benz
无懈追求 - 奔驰

It is the inventor of modern automobiles, because the founders Daimler and Karl Benz's 1886 automobile, is widely regarded as the first gasoline powered automobile. Mercedes-Benz is one of the most recognized automotive brands worldwide.
可能你并不知道，梅赛德斯奔驰的的名字是两家公司的名字组成的。“戴姆勒·梅赛德斯”和“卡尔·奔驰父子公司”。梅赛德斯奔驰被公认为汽车最早的发明者，因为其创始人奔驰（或者叫本兹）与戴姆勒在1886年制造了第一辆公认的汽油动力汽车。奔驰公司也是世界上名气最大的汽车制造商之一。
Mercedes-Benz has the longest automobile manufacturing history and the most matured technologies among the three brands. If you are the “Boss” kind of guy or a successful business man, this one may be your favorite. Of course there are also sport car models in Mercedes Benz, the most famous of which is called the AMG models. You wear black suit, you look old and strong, but still you can move really really fast.
在这三个品牌中奔驰拥有最悠久的汽车制造历史以及最成熟的技术（为什么这个这么重要？因为这可以保证你的汽车在关键时刻不出岔子，正常使用不会小毛病缠身）。如果你是那种“大哥”类型的人，它绝对是你的菜哈哈。当然了除了轿车，奔驰也有著名的AMG跑车系列（也是性能霸道，看完价格表假装没事的节奏，不过就算不上AMG其他车型也绝对质量性能过硬！轿车不错等我年龄大一点再考虑。跑车系列的造型感觉跟宝马比，像赤木跟流川枫的对比一样。请自行百度哈哈）。

Current Model Range 当前出售车型
Mercedes-Benz offers the largest range of passenger, light commercial and heavy commercial equipment among these three brands, and believe it or not though, the Smart also has something to do with BENZ! If you have Benz on your shopping list, then you have to understand what those letters before the numbers mean. In general, S is better than E which is better than C which is better than B which is better than A. 梅在这三个品牌中，赛德斯奔驰提供了最广泛的运动，旅行与商务乘坐方案（用不装X的话说就是车型选择很多），连小巧玲珑Smart都跟奔驰有不小关系。选择买车前得先弄明白那么多型号上的字母代表什么意思。总的来说S比E好，E比C好，C比B好，B比A好（综合性能与技术）。
