Why Mercedes and not e.g. BMW?

Apparently he was gonna call it Mr Fury, but he'd already wrote that one.

Wouldn't it be incongruent to have something from 'the beam' to harm? I like Skimoms guess, alliteration. Somehow, Yergi Yugo doesn't have the same charm as Mr. Mercedes.

Oh that's interesting. Why the Porsche 911 Carrera? What kind of book or story would that be? I found a number of novels naming Mercedes in their title. I found one (German) novel with the brand name Porsche in its title. But the car played actually only a minor role. The (male) narrator used the brand name mainly as a nickname for his favorite part of the body

No, I'm just being silly. Maybe Ms. Mod knows why he chose Mercedes. Maybe it's his favorite car. I guess I would include a Porsche 911 Carrera if I wrote a book.

Because it's my favorite car, as I was saying a Mercedes might be King's...

Well, yes, it does. And I think it matters with regard to the story as well. Don't you think the story would have a different outcome if King had used a different car? It's a detective novel. A detective's job is to "read" the signs left by the perk uh perp (first of all identify which is a sign and which is not) and draw his conclusions. Different signs lead to different conclusions and subsequent actions. So the story could have been different with a different vehicle. And the very same process applies to the reader as well; therefore, yes, it matters to me.

OK. I wasn't trying to offend.Take a chill pill.

More like Mrs BMW.

I'm going with alliteration myself, but what goes through a writer's mind only he could answer.
