Both offer the means for the Mercedes-Benz community to communicate with each other. They are general web chat rooms but are structured differently. Although most subjects can be handled by either format, their structures make some subjects better handled by one rather than the other.

  Forums, as its name purveys, is an open gathering of many users with diverse ideas. Any registered member or visitor to the MBCA website can navigate to the Forums and participant in the Forum community voicing their views on a number of vastly different topics related to the Club and the Mercedes-Benz automobile. They can also start a new forum on a subject not yet covered to discuss it and hear other's opinions.

  Interest Groups are more focused on a specific interest in the Mercedes-Benz community. The purpose of the interest group is to allow members with a common interest to meet and discuss the interest. To facilitate this all related information, such as Star Articles, Forum Posts, news items, etc., on the specific subject or interest is gathered into a specific place and interest group members are allow to discuss the interest. Anyone visiting our website may view the activities of the interested group, but only members of the MBCA may join a group and fully participate.
