The new Mercedes-Benz S-Class

"For more than five decades, the letter ‘S’ in the model designation of Mercedes cars has signified a special aura, intelligent technology and the highest quality. The new S-Class not only continues this tradition, but lends a new meaning to it. It is a technological pacemaker with its pioneering innovations for more safety, comfort and practicality, and like its predecessors it will influence the automotive development of the future. The saloon exudes this poise and assurance even at first glance. Its design emphasises the confident, powerful and elegant character of the new S-Class, which makes every journey an experience."

Mercedes CLS: sexy but a little weird

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Looks aren't everything. But they sure can make up for a lot.

Take the Mercedes-Benz CLS sedan, for example. This sexy and dramatic-looking car makes an awe-inspiring entrance with its swooping, windswept appearance.

The reason it makes such an impression, of course, is that most large four-door cars aren't shaped that way. And there's a good reason they're not. But, oh my, it sure looks sweet.

Lexus SC 430 Vs. Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class - Forbes.com

"In the first eight months of 2004, Lexus sold 141% more SCs in the U.S. than Mercedes sold SLKs--6,607 vs. 2,745. But then Mercedes released a dramatically new SLK--we said at the time, and still feel, that a car rarely improves from one generation to the next as much as the SLK had--and the effect on sales performance was decisive. In the first eight months of 2005, Mercedes sold 38% more SLKs in the U.S. than Lexus sold SCs." - Dan Lienert

2006 Mercedes-Benz R-Class - Review - Intellichoice

Intellichoice does an entire review of the new Mercedes-benz R-Class.

"Now dubbed a "Sport Tourer," the Alabama-built R-Class shares platform basics and about 35 percent of its hardware with the equally new M-Class, including V-6 and V-8 engines and all-wheel drive. From there, this unique 2+2+2 seater treads its own path into an emerging segment that lies somewhere between, yet beyond, station wagon and SUV."

ML Diesel just around the corner?

So, what’s more efficient - a diesel or a hybrid? The German magazine Auto Bild drove the Mercedes ML 320 diesel and the Lexus RX400h from New York to San Francisco to find out which one was the master of mileage. The results from this cross-country trip give the edge to the diesel, which should come as little surprise for what we assume was mostly steady-state highway driving. The Mercedes’ average of 37 MPG edges out the Lexus’ 33 MPG and impresses the hell out of me in the process (note that the link below states the mileage using Imperial gallons). Also noted is that the hybrid was marginally (about 2%) better in urban-type driving. Which would I pick, you ask? Based on this, I’d probably go with the diesel, but I do very little true stop-and-go type driving. I’d also prefer said diesel in a nice midsize wagon instead of a “soft-roader”, but that’s a different discussion altogether.

2006 Mercedes-Benz S-Class

Next month at Frankurt, with the premier of the new S-class, MB will also be showing the new top of the line S600. Powered by a 5.5L twin-turbo V12 that pumps out 510 bhp and with 612 lb-ft of torque on tap at just 1,900 rpm, the new S600 will go from 0-60 in just 4.6 seconds. And if having the new S600 is not distinguishing enough, 20 Signiture Edition S600s will also be sold through Saks Fifth Avenue, featuring Mocha Metallic Black paint, panoramic glass roof and hand-polished piano lacuquer black wood. Gift wrapping is located on the second floor.
