    However, in Spanish, which is the name’s language of origin despite being a German car, they’re the same. All e as in red. Mercedes.

      True, it’s a common female name, or was idk. Iirc the car is named after the daughter of the inventor. The German pronunciation is the butchered version of the Spanish first name so I’m on no moral high ground
