Cars and girls go together like fine wine and candle light dinners. It’s a natural combo. SEMA 2012, had both in spades of course. We’ve included our favorite Benzes from the show floor below. Persona favorite? Despite my burning, borderline-sycophantic, love for the C63 AMG Black series… I could not help but be wooed by […] More »

What you see here is probably the 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class, photographed by Victor Gutierrez Poza from his room in a Madrid hotel.

I mean, most people have forgotten to pull up the parking brake at some point, I get that. However, most people realize their error before getting out of the car. Here’s what happens when that […] More »

No one looks at Mercedes’ line-up and says “you know, the E-Class is the perfect platform for a track toy.”  And yet, here we are with another souped up E-Class that’s more than capable of burning down the drag strip. Not that we’re complaining, of course. There’s absolutely […] More »
