Australia ranks highest for Benz

As Daimler celebrates its 125th anniversary, it has named Mercedes-Benz Australia as its leading operation through 2010.  Australia beat out China and Canada in a tie for second, with the USA and Korea next best with another tied score.

The result of the Mercedes-Benz rankings are decided on everything from customer satisfaction scores to showroom results and are compiled each year.  Australia also managed an all-time best sales result in 2010, with 18,464 deliveries and victory over BMW in the prestige sector of showrooms.

"It is obviously a major success and one we are very proud of. To our knowledge, it is the first time Australia has finished in the top group in the Mercedes-Benz world."
