Production Mercedes-Benz A-Class spotted undisguised
Feb 04, 2012 - 4:59 PM - by Mercedes Forum
Filed under: Spy Photos, Geneva Motor Show, Videos, Hatchback, Mercedes-Benz, Luxury



We've gotten various peeks at the Mercedes-Benz A-Class for a few months now, from the patent drawings to spy shots to QR-coded teasers. Then, of all things in all places, a cyclist with a handlebar-mounted camera ... [Read More]

Mercedes-Benz CLS Shooting Brake snapped winter testing
Feb 04, 2012 - 3:39 AM - by Mercedes Forum
Filed under: Spy Photos, Performance, Wagon, Hatchback, Mercedes-Benz, Luxury



Mercedes-Benz hasn't exactly been secretive about its desire to offer a five-door hatchback version of its ultra-stylish CLS sedan. After all, the first concept for the latest CLS, which was introduced as a 2012 model, introduced us to the CLS Shooting Break Concept at the Beijing Motor Show in 2010. And yes, MB itself called the car a Shooting Break, not Brake.

Based on... [Read More]

Mercedes-Benz gets sketchy with Citan urban delivery van
Feb 03, 2012 - 7:17 PM - by Mercedes Forum
Filed under: Minivan/Van, Work, Mercedes-Benz, Design/Style



Though the Ford Transit Connect may be a niche player in the North American market, the small van market is big business in Europe. According to Mercedes-Benz, it accounts for some 700,000 units annually, and that's a pie of which Daimler wouldn't mind getting a bigger slice. And so it has announced its new Citan.

Taking its name from a combination of City and Titan, the Citan will slot in below the Vario, Sprinter and Vito in order to meet the needs of workers who need to get around crowded city streets and take their gear with them. Mercedes plans... [Read More]

First Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG in America to be auctioned off at Boca concours
Feb 03, 2012 - 3:45 PM - by Mercedes Forum
Filed under: Convertible, Performance, Auctions, Audi, Lamborghini, Mercedes-Benz, Misc. Auto Shows



Of all the car shows around the calendar year, the Boca Raton Concours d'Elegance doesn't typically fall on our radar screen. But maybe it should, because the annual event in Florida - young as it is - has a history of offering firsts. Maybe not the first time a vehicle is seen in North America, mind you, but a first just the same.

Last year the event included the sale of the first examples of the... [Read More]

2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK350 [w/video]

Sport, Compact, Light? Two Out of Three Ain't Bad



Sportlich, Leicht, Kompakt. If your German is as spotty as ours, that stands for " Sporty, Light, Compact," and it's telling that those are the three letters used by Mercedes-Benz as an adopted moniker for the small hardtop/convertible coupe that it released all the way back in 1996. Thing is, it never really stood out as any of those things: Sporty, but certainly not powerful. Light, but, at a hair over 3,000 pounds, far from featherweight. Compact? Sure, a 94-inch wheelbase sounds about right, but the car has gotten bigger with every successive generation and has never seemed... [Read More]

Mercedes-Benz Actros semi fitted for taxi duty, picks up humorous fares
Feb 01, 2012 - 6:10 PM - by Mercedes Forum
Filed under: Truck, Marketing/Advertising, Videos, Work, Mercedes-Benz, Humor



The new-generation 2012 Actros big rig has already won Truck of the Year - for the fourth time - and Mercedes-Benz figured it would have some letting other truck people know about its semi. It kitted an Actros out in the eggshell hue and black-and-yellow sign that's standard-issue German taxi livery, then sent it to pick up passengers.

The hook? Some of these passengers were waiting outside competing truck companies like MAN and ... [Read More]

McLaren denies plans to switch engine suppliers
Jan 31, 2012 - 1:31 PM - by Mercedes Forum
Filed under: Motorsports, Mercedes-Benz



For 15 years, McLaren was the F1 team of choice for Mercedes-Benz, enjoying a near-works level of support and collaboration from the German automaker. But as you may recall, Daimler bought its own team three seasons ago: the outfit that started out as British American Racing, then became Honda before branching out as Brawn GP, was rebranded Mercedes GP under its latest management and now rechristened Mercedes AMG Petronas. And ever since, McLaren has had to deflect speculation that it was looking for a new engine supplier.

Back in November, those rumors, somewhat ironically, centered around Honda, the company that once owned the team now owned by Mercedes-Benz and which was once McLaren's most victorious engine supplier. The Woking-based outfit scuttled those rumors at the time, and has now had to deny another set, this time involving ... [Read More]

Expect Daimler's new plant to be right next to Nissan's in Mexico
Jan 30, 2012 - 3:58 PM - by Mercedes Forum
Filed under: Plants/Manufacturing, Hatchback, Mercedes-Benz, Rumormill, Luxury



It was only a few weeks ago that Mercedes-Benz CEO Dieter Zetsche laid out his global sales vision for the brand, aiming to be the world's Number One luxury automaker by 2020 with 2.7 million annual sales. One component of that plan is building another plant in North America, and a report by the TheDetroitBureau.com indicates that the plant will be built in Aguascalientes, Mexico - right next to a Nissan assembly plant that's already there.

Nissan recently announced ... [Read More]

AMG takes us behind the scenes of Ducati photo shoot
Jan 30, 2012 - 2:46 AM - by Mercedes Forum
Filed under: Coupe, Performance, Marketing/Advertising, Videos, Mercedes-Benz, Motorcycle, Luxury



Mercedes-Benz has cobbled together a behind-the-scenes video chronicling a photo shoot with two stars: the 451-horseepower C63 AMG Coupe and a Ducati 848 in matching white. Deviating from the behind-the-scenes template, this one is more like a series of rushes set to music. In addition to the mechanical eye candy, a pair of models feature prominently (as suggested by the screencap above). The... [Read More]

NADA: Dealers most happy with Hyundai, Subaru and Lexus
Jan 28, 2012 - 9:39 PM - by Mercedes Forum
Filed under: Car Buying, Hyundai, Kia, Lexus, Mercedes-Benz, Subaru

Car dealers have a strange and oftentimes contentious relationship with the carmakers. Stories of automakers shoveling unsaleable models down the pipeline with unreasonable expectations are legion in the car sales world. With the number of family-owned, single-brand dealerships dwindling, dealers often field competing franchises. The concept of loyalty is as quaint as a Lincoln Town Car. So it's worth noting the automotive brands that are actually liked by the guys selling them.

The National Automobile Dealers Association conducts its Dealer Attitude Survey twice each year, and results from the summer survey are in. Hyundai stayed on top for the third time in a row,... [Read More]
