Collective noun for Mercedes

[Alfie]

Having decided now not to sell the ML I have hopefully secured a second Mercedes. This brought about a debate with my wife concerning the correct collective noun for Mercedes. I said it should be a 'brace' if their were two. However, she who has various degrees, one of which is latin, claims that the origin of the word Mercedes is Greek and therefore the collective noun should be a Mythology of Mercedes.

Any thoughts anyone?

Latest research..................

"Mercedes actually comes from the Spanish word for mercy
and is the name of the Virgin Mary - Maria de las Mercedes so perhaps a more
apt collective noun would be
'mercy of Mercedes'!"
