Mercedes-Benzes

Stuttgart luxury vehicles

Mercedes-Benzes is the plural of Mercedes-Benz, the German luxury automobile brand.

The plural appears when referring to multiple vehicles: Three Mercedes-Benzes were parked in the driveway.

Some speakers avoid the awkward plural by using Mercedes alone for both singular and plural, or by adding "cars" or "vehicles" after the brand name.
