It can't be a baby Benz.

Also, Mercedes engineers have done a superb job of shushing their Baby Benz.

Or a Baby Benz ?

"They ought to play it like a Baby Benz," said Joel A. Barker, an author and expert on business trends.

The original W201 "Baby Benz" came standard in Germany with a 5-speed transmission, automatic transmissions were optional.

Next to a CD, an album appears laughably oversized, like a '57 Chevy parked alongside a baby Benz.

As small as it appears, the car's interior is only four millimeters shorter than that of the C-Class (once known as the Baby Benz).

All this, of course, complements the goodies that usually come with the baby Benz, either as standard fare or as options: antilock brakes, side-curtain air bags, power seats, leather upholstery, power moonroof, a superb five-speed automatic transmission.

WHEN Mercedes introduced its Baby Benz, the 190 and 220 models of the early 1980's, the amazing thing to me was the ability of the company to cram so much solidity and luxury into a package that seemed no bigger than a breadbox.
