5 Most Overrated Mercedes-Benz Cars

German car manufacturers are known for making some of the greatest performance cars of our time, and for good reason. Brands like Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Porsche, and BMW, all make some great performance cars that don't skimp out on luxury, either. Be it sports cars or sport sedans, brands like Mercedes-Benz truly shine. Of course, as is the case with every single brand in the industry, even the might manufacturers have missteps, and Mercedes is no different.

Even greatly-reputed brands like Mercedes-Benz have had cars that never lived up to their hype. These underwhelming cars came with the Silver Arrows up front, but didn't match the hype and hoopla they created, hence becoming overrated. Be it because they're obsolete on arrival, or are heavily unreliable, here are 5 of the most overrated Mercedes-Benz cars, and 5 Audi cars that we'd much rather prefer over them.
