The Americans and the Germans are at it again. This time, thankfully, it’s not over the skies of Poland, but in a Malibu parking garage. The following video shows a rev battle between Mercedes’ newest biturbo V12-powered S65 AMG and a Dodge Challenger Hellcat. Watch it after the jump.

Sometimes, the best auto journalists are you guys, the people in the forum that actually make enough money to buy the models we writers desire. We test the cars, but we usually do so over such a short period of time that it’s difficult to discover the true nature and character of each vehicle. Thankfully, we have dudes such as StanNH in the forum. After the jump, find out more about his long-term review of his 2015 C300.

Hybrid cars, including those of the plug-in variety, have been on the road for quite a while. By now, I thought the perception of them as slow or boring would have gone away, especially since models such as the Porsche 918 and Ferrari LaFerrari exist. I guess I was wrong. Mercedes-Benz is pushing the point that its upcoming 2015 S-Class Plug-In Hybrid is no snoozer-cruiser. Find out more about it after the jump.

To celebrate their own ostentatiousness, Brabus has decided that what the G63 6×6 needs isn’t two less wheels, but rather Red Carbon Fiber on some of the exterior surfaces of the massive truck.

Forum member AMGAffalterbach is looking for a new Benz. He’s narrowed the candidates down to a 2014 E550 4MATIC and a 2012 E63 AMG. After the jump, find out which big factor can potentially affect his final decision.

I get the feeling that when Autoblog tested the Mercedes-Benz S550 Coupe, the Billy Joel song “Just the Way You Are” was playing through its speakers. In the site’s review of the S63 AMG Coupe, it basically tells the less-powerful two-door, “Don’t go changing to try and please me.” Autoblog seems to love it just the way it is. That’s not to say the publication hates the S63, though. See what I mean after the jump.

Mansory, surprisingly, didn’t go all freaky with the M1000, which is based on the new Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG, and left the exterior rather subdued. That’s a good thing because there’s 1,000 horsepower under the hood, making this sedan one of the best sleepers ever.
