I disagree.

The CLS was a masterpiece in style, both generations. granted there's almost none around anymore.
The McLaren SLR was revered, despite me thinking it looks ugly.
The SLS gullwing was a beautiful car, though many thought it lacked performance.
The AMG GT had the performance chops and most of the looks.
The generations of C63 have all been great until they nerfed it with a 4 cylinder that no one wanted.
The E63 wagon was the sled that every enthusiast in North America wanted until Audi rolled out the new RS6.
The A class hatch is pretty awesome, if you can stomach the $75k pricetag for a A35

The only problem is, those above are all high dollar cars. Their pleb stuff is not that great......

When I talk to people about the 3 German marques, each has their own specialty.
BMW is great with their straight 6, and still are.
Audi's EA888 is amazing despite it being a 20 year old now.
Mercedes V8s, nuff said.
