Please, Hold Your Applause: Mercedes Bestowed With Two 2007 WhatCar? Awards |
|
In awards news, the UK's car purchasing guide WhatCar? has bestowed
Mercedes with two prestigious awards in their 2007 Car of the Year
contest, one for the S320 CDI in the 'Luxury Car' category and the other
for Mercedes and their pioneering work in the 'Safety' category. When
asked why Mercedes was named the winner in the 'Safety' category, Steve
Fowler, group editor of WhatCar? had this to say on the subject: 'For
half a century, Mercedes has been at the forefront of safety innovation
and research. Mercedes fits stability control to every model in the range.
Where it leads, others follow. Just recently the company has surpassed
its previous efforts [with the innovative PRE-SAFE predictive occupant
protection system] as well as a string of impressive Euro NCAP crash test
scores - five stars is the norm for occupant safety with impressive
results for child and pedestrian safety. It is this egalitarian approach
as much as innovative recent developments that nets Mercedes this [safety]
award.' Read more
