They are using Mercedes for Taxis, because in the past they built the most reliable Diesel with the lowest fuel consumption.
Also, we have very strict regulations for taxis. They have to be in excellent technical condition and they have to be in great shape, interior and exterior, otherwise they won't keep their license.
Some of these cabs clock up to 2 Million kilometers.
At first, I don't think Germans are as friendly as Americans, but once they are, they mean it!
