Is it the Mercedes Star or the Mercedes Three Slice Pizza ? - Sprinter-Forum

punter · 11-17-2010, 02:51 PM

If you want a Sprinter, you have to decide whether you want a Freightliner or a Mercedes.

It seems many go for the Mercedes because it is more prestigious. They even put Mecrecedes emblems on their differently branded vehicles.

I do not get it.

Why is the Mercedes Star referred to as such. To me it looks like a three slice pizza.

A three slice pizza cannot be confused with a star. It is not a star. IT IS A THREE SLICE PIZZA!

Personally, I think the Freightliner grill looks better.

Proximity is a very significant factor.
Isn't it just marvelous that you are able to choose.
No anchovies please.

Seems it IS a 3-silce pizza:

"The three-pointed star was supposed to symbolize Daimler’s ambition of universal motorization – “on land, on water and in the air”."

The brand and symbol recognition is too important to abandon, but LHM is not something I want to contemplate on land, let alone on water or in the air.

..in the air, it's LHN (not "M")... Land Here Now.

p.s. in a small plane, such as a Cessna 172, you've actually got quite a lot of time/distance available to you if the engine quits.
If you're at 5,000 feet, its 500 foot per minute sink rate (at "best glide" speed) gives you about 10 minutes and a 10-mile-radius circle of opportunity to find someplace (hopefully) minimally damaging to land at/on/in. Golf courses are highly popular.

We are doing a job in a Dominos Pizza. I will ask them if the MB emblem is a pizza star.

You guys are really losing it lately

If you want a pizza get an Italian job like FiART. But I prefer the three pointed star pizza, as to three separate dishes on the plate Ah'rr that's Amore'.
