Mercedes-Benz S 320 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY

Mercedes-Benz is all about efficiency these days – and capital letters, apparently.  Just like the S400 BlueHYBRID, the new S320 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY gets the CAPITAL treatment.  Rather than some tricked-out lithium ion powered hybrid system though, the S320 CDI gets a 3.0 liter diesel six.  Added for efficiency are a seven speed automatic and [...]

2009 Mercedes-Benz S400 BlueHYBRID

This one brings back memories.  I first posted spy shots of this car way back in January of 2008 – 8 long months ago.  Some of the details have changed since then, but it looks like the change is for the better.  However, Europe is going to get the S400 BlueHYBRID before us – [...]

2009 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG Spy Shots

Spy photographers managed to snag the first shots of the upcoming 2009 Mercedes E63 AMG.  The platform is all new, complete with CLS-style headlights.  The powertrain isn’t set in stone yet, but it looks like the trusty 6.2 liter AMG V8 will get the nod.  No word on horsepower yet, but I think “more [...]

The whole idea behind this car is fantastic – Big, Luxurious, and exceptional [...]

2009 Mercedes-Benz ML 450 Hybrid

Mercedes is joining the hybrid game, and it’s about time. The 2009 ML 450 Hybrid will be making it’s official debut at the Frankfurt Auto Show – and it’s a pretty slick machine. If you like Mercedes SUV’s ( I don’t, but many folks do ), then you’ll know that they are [...]

Mercedes-Benz SLC Super Coupe

Check this out – Mercedes has an upcoming “Super coupe” called the SLC series.  This spy shot is not confirmed to be the SLC, but everything points in that direction.  The hood is impossibly long ( perhaps even longer than a Viper ), so this one will definitely have the engine mounted up front.  RWD [...]

2008 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Review

The 2008 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG is due to hit the US in April of 2008 – later than I hoped. See, the C63 AMG is a muscle car in the classic sense – a compact ( well compact-ish ) car stuffed with a massive 6.2 liter V8. This little car will put [...]
