SLS AMG – Retro Power at its best by Mark Hacking, California USA At dinner the evening before our first crack at the 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, it’s clear that this is an important car for the German manufacturer.

Here are the first ever shots of the all-new Mercedes B-class, expected to hit showrooms in the third-quarter of 2011. It’s the car that fans of the current model won’t like: the new car will discontinue today’s B-class’ overall layout of a super-mini MPV in favour of a more hatchback-like design. Much more than a Sports-Tourer, [...]

Here’s prove Mercedes is hard working on the next generation E-Class Cabrio (so far called CLK) – and of the fact that the coupé’s beautiful sister will get a retractable hardtop. Clearly visible is the joint between the windshield frame and the front edge of the roof. The wider disguise of the c-post and the longer [...]

Lagonda to join forces on S-Class based sedan?

Matt Brogan — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 01:42:38 +0000

The almost unmitigated failure that was the Lagonda SUV Concept, unveiled earlier this year at the Geneva Motor Show, has, despite its public rejection, paved the way for Aston Martin to revive the Lagonda brand with reports today suggesting these may take the form of a Mercedes-Benz S-Class based offering from the famous name. Expected to [...]
