Did Princess Diana's death affect Mercedes sales?

Question

Were sales of the S-Class or their cars in general affected in the years straight after her fatal crash?

Answer 1

Yeah, hitting a bridge abuttment will definitely crimp the style of a Mercedes!

Answer 2

What does that have to do with it?  It wasn't the brand of the car; it was the person driving it.  It would have happened no matter what brand the car was.  Get something important to do.

Answer 3

I don't think so. I've never heard about that

Answer 4

I don't know about sale of S class but I got rid of my vintage 450 SE shortly after. Realized they weren't as safe as I thought.
