“Unser Auto” [“Our Car”] award at AMI 2010: Mercedes-Benz E­Class impresses yet again

For the 11th time, the readers of weekly newspapers in Germany’s eastern states were called on to cast their votes for “Unser Auto”, one of the categories being “the most popular German-built car”. The top new models launched in the course of the past year were up for election – from compact small cars to medium-size models and sports cars all the way up to luxurious premium saloons.

Among the German participants, it was the E Class Saloon that took first place. This choice confirmed the result of the polls which leading German motoring magazines, such as auto, motor & sport, ADACmotorwelt, Auto Bild and Auto Zeitung as well as the online service autoscout24, held to canvass opinion at national level and in which the E Class was also voted the winner in a number of categories.

The cup for the victorious E Class was presented to Florian Seidler, Head of Sales Management Mercedes-Benz Passenger Cars, by Martin Buhl-Wagner, Managing Director of the Leipzig Trade Fair, on the occasion of the Automobil Messe International (AMI) show. This trophy joins the impressive line-up of major national and international awards which the E Class has already received. A selection of these titles is shown here:
