Damn.

I'm sure the list of Cadillac innovations is much shorter:

Early 1910's: first mass-produced V-8 engine
1940's: Introduction of "Hydra-Matic" first offered by Oldsmobile
1950's: First vehicle to offer memory seats ('57 Eldorado Brougham)
1954: first auto manufacturer to offer power steering as standard equipment on its entire line of automobiles
1960's First automatic climate control system offered in vehicle
1970's: First trip computer offered in a car
1985: First traverse V8 engine installed in Deville and Fleetwood
1990: First FWD car with traction control
1993: The Northstar V8
1997: Introduction of Onstar
2000: First use of "Night Vision" on Deville

Those are just a few of the ones I found. Not sure if they are perfectly correct, but as you can see, the list of Mercedes innovations is much longer.
