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.
If you happen to celebrate Christmas, I hope this year’s turns out to be your best one yet. May it be relaxing and full of love, laughter, and delicious food. Kick your feet back and enjoy it. Just know that Mercedes-Benz is probably going to start a recall around the day after, Dec. 26. Should you happen to own a 2014 or 2015 E250 BlueTec, E250 BlueTec 4Matic, GLK250 4Matic BlueTec, or 2015 ML250 4Matic BlueTec, you stand a good chance of being affected by it. Find out more after the jump.
Some hapless Mercedes owner not only lost his or her rims and tires to thieves, but his or her entire C63 AMG coupe to a wrecker. See the horror on the MBWorld blog after the jump.
If you drive a big ‘ol Mercedes, you should be able to drive it however the hell you like, especially during a lovely jaunt in the country. Alas, a man’s peace at the wheel can be greatly affected by one terrible thing: Tailgaters. That is one thing we, and Robert Loggia, “cannot tolerate.”
This, as you may or may not have guessed, is a classic Mercedes 300SL. And we can forgive you if you didn’t immediately recognize it, since this has to be one of the worst examples of a 300SL ever.
In just nine years, Mercedes-Benz has produced 500,000 cars in its new Chinese factory. This is both a testament to Mercedes, and a view into the future of the Chinese automotive market.
