Spy Shots: Next-Gen Mercedes-Benz GL-Class As Big As Ever
Mercedes-Benz is hard at work developing the next-generation of its monstrous GL-Class. As with the current model, the GL rides on a stretched and widened version of the ML-Class. Engine choices shouldn’t change much, with gas- and diesel-powered V-6s being available. Expect a gas-powered V-8 to be the top-end motor.
Spy Shots: Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe In The Wild
Our spy photographers have captured some images of Mercedes-Benz’s third attempt at producing a competitor for the BMW 3-Series Coupe. Unlike the C-Class Sport Coupe and CLC-Class of the past years, the new C-Class Coupe looks to be a true coupe, not a hatchback.
First Look: 2011 Mercedes-Benz CL-Class
Mercedes-Benz has just unveiled a new way to liberate $110,000 to $175,000 from your wallet. The 2011 CL-Class is offered in two flavors, CL550 and CL600. The CL550 offers a 4.7-liter, biturbocharged V-8 which makes 429 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. If that isn’t quick enough, the CL600 offers a plebian-crushing 5.5-liter, biturbocharged V-12, with 510 horsepower and 612 pound-feet of torque to separate you from the unwashed masses.
First Look: Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG E-Cell
Images of an electric gullwing have emerged on the internet. The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG E-Cell, expected to go on sale in 2013, is electric version of the SLS AMG we’ve already driven, with a few other changes.
Quick Drive: Mazda CX-7s Grand Touring AWD
I remember that Mazda’s first ads for the CX-7 touted it as a cross between a sports car and an SUV. Allowing for some inevitable poetic license, I’d say those ads were at least half true.
Driven: 2010 Mercedes-Benz E550 Coupe
The last time we got behind he wheel of the 2010 E-Class Coupe, the car in question was the V-6-powered E350. Tom Martin found that iteration of the car to be great-looking but too soft, underpowered, and pretty isolated. Not exactly the pick of the driver’s car litter then. So, when the opportunity arose to try out the higher-power E550, that of the 5.5-liter, 382-horsepower, and 391-pound-feet of torque V-8, we were excited to see if the result was any more sporting.
List: 400 Horsepower For Under $30K
If horsepower is the only thing on your mind when purchasing a car, the current market has no shortage of choices. 200- to 350-horsepower cars can be had at a price that won’t break the bank, but what if you want something more. 400-horsepower cars, from your local dealer, are becoming more and more attainable, but are still a long way from being as common as a 300-horsepower car. The new breed of muscle cars (Mustang, Camaro, Challenger) can all be had with big V-8s that are north of 400, but when you are done with the options sheet, the grand total will still be in the mid-to-upper $30,000s. So what is the best way of breaking 400 horsepower without breaking the bank?

Beijing 2010: Mercedes-Benz Shooting Break Concept
Let’s be entirely truthful, the concept car moniker attached to the Mercedes-Benz Shooting Break doesn’t mean much. What we are looking at is the next generation of the ground-breaking CLS four-door coupe (albeit in wagon form).

Our spy photographer sent us two series of spy shots, which we have combined here into one gallery. They feature the Mercedes-Benz CLS AMG on both public roads and on the Nürburgring, this time wearing much less in the way of camouflage.
First Look: 2011 Mercedes-Benz R-Class
The Mercedes-Benz R-Class has always been a bit of a black sheep. With a polarizing exterior, it was one of the first forays into the luxury crossover market. Now, Mercedes has unveiled the (heavily) refreshed R-Class at the 2010 New York Auto Show.
First Look: 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3
Cars with gullwing doors are cool. Race cars are also cool. Following this logic, it can be assumed that a race car with gullwing doors would be extremely cool. Mercedes-Benz seems to agree with that logic.
List: Top Ten Longest Range Vehicles
With the departure of our BMW X5 xDrive35d, we began talking about vehicles that not only offered decent-to-good fuel economy, but also packed massive gas tanks to allow outrageous distances between fill ups. We set a minimum of 600 miles per tank, and got our numbers by multiplying the gas tank size by the EPA estimated highway mileage. Here are the results.

Driven: 2011 Audi A8 4.2 FSI
So, the battle is on. This new A8 needs to sell 4,500 units per year in our country to put a smile back on the faces of company management in Ingolstadt. Can she hack it?
