All the ideas on the car

Let’s have a first look at the facelifted Mercedes-Benz C-Class Sedan. Chief on the improvements list–a list 2,000 parts long despite the similar look and feel–is the new powertrain range, which returns a four-cylinder engine to U.S. models for the first time in years. Using direct injection and a turbocharger to generate as-yet unstated power, [...]

The facelifted Mercedes-Benz C-Class comes with a not so obvious gem: Terminal Mode for in-car smartphone integration. Nice! Merc has made some minor exterior updates to the car (not necessarily for the better, in our opinion), but on the inside comes an updated Mercedes COMAND infotainment system that, for the first time, offers full internet [...]

Nice driving report here of the Mercedes-Benz CL63 AMG. Enjoy! Large turbo engines aren’t meant to sound like this. Nor are they meant to respond to the throttle like the CL63, either. The secret would seem to be not more turbo pressure, but less. Because the engine is still large, Mercedes can afford to blow [...]

Street word has it that the 2012 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series Coupe will receive a twin-turbo 5.5 Liter V8. Awesome! In a conversation last night with Inside Line, Mercedes-Benz announced that when the new C-Class AMG Black Series Coupe (we’re assuming it’ll keep the C63 naming convention) hits sometime next year, it will carry [...]

Mercedes-Benz’ Formula 1 driver Nico Rosberg shows off the new Magic Sky Control roof of the Mercedes-Benz SLK on video. Enjoy! Vehicle engineer Michael Scheer shot some footage riding shotgun in the new roadster around Monte Carlo as Rosberg gave us a glimpse of what to expect from the new SLK, demonstrating as well that [...]

Cool video comparison by Fifth Gear here of Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Performance Package Plus against the BMW M3 Competition Package. Enjoy the show! The M3 is powered by the S65B40 engine, a naturally aspirated, high revving 4-liter V8 (based on the S85B50 5-liter V10 that powers the E60/E61 M5 and the E63/E64 M6 to date) [...]

Here’s the first spy shot of the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Convertible with its roof down. A must see! Instead of using a heavy and complex folding metal arrangement, as seen on the SL, Mercedes has elected to fit a revised version of the canvas top which used on the previous SLR roadster. The electrically-operated roof [...]

We found a brand new spy video of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe. Enjoy! Caught testing on the Nurburgring test track recently, this prototype of the C-Class coupe reveals some pretty conservative styling. Compared to the larger E-Class coupe, this two-door has a softer design up front and a less aggressive roofline. In terms of size, [...]

Interesting road test report here with the Mercedes-Benz GL350 BlueTec 4MATIC. Have a read! Seven seats of Mercedes-Benz, American-style. Although the GL-class is sold worldwide, it’s clearly made to target our country’s love of extra-large and extra-in-charge trucks. Plus, the GL is manufactured in the good-old U-S-of-A, down in Tuscaloosa County, Alabama. Since we said [...]

Mercedes-Benz has unveiled the Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG at the Los Angeles Motor Show. Have a look! AMG’s new baby – the M157 5.5-liter twin-turbocharged V8 – is finding a home in nearly every new Mercedes product, and when fitted to the CLS63 the blown mill is good for 518 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque… [...]

Have a look at this ultimate trailer home by Mercedes-Benz, there’s even room for a garage for your smart. Awesome! This is the last time you’ll call folks “trailer trash.” Be wooed by this luxury mobile home, big enough to even tuck away your smart car in the back.

Things get weird if car companies release their own spy shots. Anyhow, enjoy these official spy shots of the Magic Sky Control roof of the next-generation Mercedes-Benz SLK. In the middle of a rocky, scarcely frequented parking area, they have positioned three prototypes, one of which is the SLK, due to celebrate its world premiere [...]
