Kenyan Outrage as Leaders Ditch Mercedes for Volkswagens
Share
For years, one of the defining images of the African political élite has been the silhouette of a figure sitting behind tinted glass or drawn curtains in the backseat of a luxury car. The car's model may vary, and the color too, but nine times out of 10 the make is Mercedes-Benz. In Swahili, which is spoken throughout eastern Africa, members of the ruling class are even known by the nickname wabenzi , or "people of the Benz."
Kenya's wabenzi just got downgraded. Thanks to a government cost-cutting program aimed at saving taxpayers some $27 million, Finance Minister Uhuru Kenyatta announced this summer that government ministers, along with assistant ministers and permanent secretaries, must turn in their ubiquitous Mercedes-Benz for Volkswagen Passats, which not only cost about two-thirds the price of a new Benz in Kenya, but are, says the government, cheaper to run and maintain.

Poor front window glass quality? - Mercedes Benz SLK World Forum
The car is from 2005 and after about two years I hit a moose which smashed the front windows completely. The glass was already then full of small dots. OK they gave me a new glass and all looked well at start but after another two years the new windscreen was damaged the same way again. No other of my earlier car had this problem. Has Mercedes choosed a lighter glass with poor quality or what?
