Now, about this Mercedes. In the corner of each rear-vision mirror is a little red triangle, artfully engineered into the glass. This is designed to monitor your blind spot. It lights up whenever one of those enormous Beamers you see on the autobahn is about to roar past in the outside lane at 200 klicks. Should you indicate ''left'' while the light is illuminated, it squeaks — calmly, not stridently — but with enough alarm to induce a moments’ reflexive hesitation, during which time a monstrous BMW thunders past. | Now, about this Mercedes.
