Far From Perfect? Mercedes-Benz ML320 BlueTec Diesel SUV
It's good news that more automakers are willing to gamble on fuel-efficient diesels in the historically anti-diesel U.S. market.But it's bad timing that the rollouts are beginning now, when diesel fuel prices average about 48% more than regular gasoline and 38% more than premium — wiping out diesel engines' 20% to 40% edge in fuel efficiency.But fuel prices fluctuate, and high-mileage diesels might again seem like salvation. In which case, it'll be important to remember that not all diesels are...

In the Autoblog Garage: 2008 Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG [w/VIDEO]
Click above for high-res gallery of the AMG S63There was a time when what we might call super-sedans were largely the province of a dedicated cadre of aftermarket tuners. Companies like Brabus, Alpina and, of course, AMG would generally start with mid-sized German sedans and transform them into something truly special. AMG in particular came to the forefront in 1987 after two decades of building special Mercs when they unleashed the Hammer. They had been building cars for two decades already, but the...

Lower the top and live a fantasy in the Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG
The 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG is a fantasy. Driving one propels you into a world where money is just that stuff that keeps overflowing your various bank accounts. I was ready to buy a monocle after one day of cruising around in it. The base price is $132,875 and it climbs steeply from there. When I recently test drove this limited-edition high performance convertible, I felt like a pretender, a poseur; I could have lived in Southern California for all I knew. Sitting in the driver's seat, I would open...

Mercedes "BlueZero E-Cell Concept"
            And one of the ugliest car designs I have seen in many, many years. Just when you thought these guys couldn't do much worse with the MLK. They top themselves. This reminds me of old Citroens from the 70's. Or even the 60's.In a bad way.           And this is said to give us hints of what the next Mercedes A Class and B class might look like. The current B Class is quite a boring...

Mercedes Benz CLC
 Mercedes-Benz has officially unveiled the 2008 CLC-Class, the Euro-market successor to the now-defunct C-Class Sports Coupe. Well, we should clarify that. It's not completely defunct in that its architecture has been carried over for the new car, meaning the CLC does not share underpinnings with the new-gen C-Class. Still, Mercedes boasts that the car features 1,100 "newly-developed or enhanced" components, including the direct steering system introduced on the freshened SLK. The changes...

Mercedes Benz F700
After a bit of a song and dance routine, sans the song, Mercedes-Benz finally drove out its new F700 Concept at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show. Looking something like an S-Class cross-bred with a Mazda RX-8, it still managed to wow the assembled horde. The debut itself was a wild enviro-mechanical fusion of dancers emulating trees and geckos that formed a vehicle out of their prop tree branches and then fit themselves inside. It was a clever way to show green and machine can coexist beautifully. Sitting...

Mercedes Benz GL
Over the past decade, the increasingly popular large-luxury-SUV segment has been dominated by vehicles from American and Japanese automakers. Now, Mercedes has joined the world of the big, the bold and the beautiful with its all-new Mercedes-Benz GL-Class, which ushers in a new level of luxury, style and performance.Initially planned to replace the comparatively ancient and crude, yet extremely capable, military-sourced G-Class a.k.a. the Gelandewagen, which soldiers on, the GL320 CDI, GL450 and GL550...

Mercedes Benz SLK
 The 2009 SLK-Class has been redesigned. A more aggressive front bumper, new grille, and new diffuser-style rear apron speak volumes about its Formula 1 heritage. Under the hood of the SLK-Class is a choice of engines so advanced in their tuning, they can deliver nearly their full power at low rpms, assuring rocket-like acceleration. The retractable hardtop signals pure exhilaration, converting the SLK-Class from coupe to convertible in 22 silent, near-magical seconds. Add new wheels for each model...
