Mercedes-Benz has been around the automotive industry since 1886 with Karl Benz creating the first petrol car. There were a great number of influential people involved with the beginnings of Merecedes-Benz. Early on they had racing success that has continued till the current day. In Australia they currently have 35 models available such as the S63 AMG, SLK, C63, E63, Cl-Class, SLK, G Series, GL Series & ML Series. The Mercedes-Benz logo is the best recognised symbol in the world.
The S-Class has always defined the very best that Mercedes-Benz can offer – the height of its technological prowess and engineering might. With the release of the EQS, in what the CEO has called a defining moment, the switch to future propulsion could be no more vivid.

Brother from another mother. We looked at the 2020 Mercedes-Benz X350d in runout this week, but how about its four-cylinder stablemate, the X250d? Let's wind back the clock to when the Mercedes-Benz X-Class arrived and was compared directly to its development partner, the Nissan Navara...

I have always been a fan of Mercedes-Benz road cars. Ever since I was growing up in the 1980s in Hong Kong, where you could find a W126 S-Class around every corner, I’ve always been attracted to the allure of one day owning a Mercedes-Benz, to be able to sit behind that three pointed star gunsight logo on the bonnet. Owning a Mercedes-Benz was a status symbol...
I initially started looking at W201 190Es after reading James' project car write-up.

Designed by Bruno Sacco who also designed the W201 the 30 year old design is still elegant and well proportioned...
I bought this car in September 2018 as an Approved Used Car from Mercedes Benz in Edinburgh, Scotland. I will have brought the car into Australia as a Private Import by late 2019. After covering 15,000km, I'm in love, hence the phenomenal scores. The car looks gorgeous in its AMG Line trim; black on black with five double-spoke wheels...
NOTE: stock images have been used as none were provided by owner. My son bought this Mercedes-Benz E250 at auction for me - fait accompli.
