No, both manufacturers are based there

I visited the Merc factory in Stuttgart a few years ago, definitely there.

Curiously the hotel had rooms decorated in classic, avantgards & elegance themes.....I thought that was a bit adventurous for our German cousins

Thanks chaps - I guess that's why I couldn't come up with a third German city. Can't think of any other reason why I'd want to, come to think of it

No, but not all Porkers were/are built in Stuttgart.

Mind you, most right hand drive BMW and Mercedes are built in South Africa, and Porsche also built some cars at the Audi plant (Necklesham??). There's never a simple answer, is there!

Thought Porsche made cards in Weissach?
