The 2010 E-Class Mercedes will join the traditional lineup, which is obviously a hit based on longevity alone, adding even more to the mid-level luxury segment that includes the BMW 5 Series, Acura TL, and Audi A6.

The bold and ultra-elite 09 McLaren Stirling Moss will make its debut at the Detroit Auto Show. Mercedes-Benz and McLaren are paired together on this project and will only be manufacturing 75 of the SLR Stirling Moss models, and they will be further enticing because they are only being made available to Europeans who are owners of previous models. Talk about uber-exlusive.

When you think of Mercedes-Benz, class and luxury are just a few of the words that may come to mind. Unfortunately, then came the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 999 Red Gold Dream. This Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren is more of a nightmare than a dream. Swiss designer Ueli Anliker had 30,000 man hours and about $4.35 million in resources to toy with the McLaren.Which leads us to believe that Ueli Anliker either hates Mercedes or is just a really bad designer, or both. The 24 carat gold SLR is painful to look at and that’s being polite. The SLR McLaren 999 Red Gold Dream made its first appearance at the Swiss tuning show, Auto Emotionen in the city of Berne. It has the unmistakable craftsmanship of classy going trashy. It really is a sad day when the word ugly comes to mind after looking at a Mercedes-Benz McLaren. In the future put those man hours and millions to good use, give us a car we want to look at rather than look away from. Thanks!

German born model Julia Stegner was featured in the Pirelli tire company’s 2005 calendar. Since then, the blonde bombshell has exploded onto fashion magazine covers, the Victoria’s Secret runway show, and ad campaigns for Dolce & Gabbana, Escada, Hugo Boss and Chloé. Now in 2009, Stegner is the new face of Mercedes-Benz. This is not the first time that Mercedes-Benz and the high fashion world have collided. Mercedes has received much fashion recognition and attention for being the predominant sponsor of fashion weeks around the globe.
As such, the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin 2009 debuted Mercedes-Benz’s new campaign featuring Julia Stegner, shocking. The glam shoot, shot by photographer Michelangelo di Battista co-starred the fresh 2009 Mercedes-Benz CLS 350 CGI Grand Edition. The 2009 Berlin fashion week was the perfect outlet to push the new Benz with some serious sex appeal; as Mercedes-Benz CLS 350 CGI Grand Edition sales started in January 2009 and the market launch was in March. Stegner dominated the photos, obviously, but take note that the Mercedes-Benz CLS 350 CGI Grand Edition features 18-inch AMG light alloy wheels in a 5-spoke design, designer leathers and a matte finish.
In the official press release the new Vice President of Brand Communications for Mercedes-Benz Cars, Anders Sundt Jensen said, "with Julia Stegner as brand ambassador, we have given our long-term, international fashion activities a fascinating and world-famous face. She particularly represents the connection between German origin and international flair. That’s why in our key visual we have very consciously placed Julia Stegner together with the new Mercedes-Benz CLS Grand Edition." This is all relevant, well, because the campaign is hot and worth taking a second look at! For your pleasure only, here is some behind the camera action via the eMercedesBenz site.
We have to wonder why Mercedes-Benz didn’t use the the more famous German and, also, Victoria’s Secret model, Heidi Klum? Maybe Klum was pregnant again, booked or just too mature to revive the Mercedes-Benz marque.

Mercedes-Benz is going to make the world a little safer for their clients. The all-new 2010 E-class got some serious security upgrades which include the ability to withstand fire weapons up to a .44 Magnum. With optional underbody army that can withstand blasts from a hand grenade. The Mercedes-Benz E-Guard upgrade uses reinforced "protective elements" around the chassis that consist of high-strength steel and aramide components, supported by resistant polycarbonate glazing. And an intercom system allows the passenger to communicate with the driver. Despite war-time editions, the interior has gone unchanged, the luxurious E-class is still just that. Sale of the 2010 armored Mercedes-Benz E-class begin this summer and start around $58,000. That price seems like charity, Mercedes-Benz must be looking to save many endangered customers.

How the tables have turned on Dubai. At one point Dubai was boasting a $37 billion-something economy and was touted as the luxury capital of the world. Due to rapid real estate expansion and declining oil prices, Dubai finds itself in debt just a few months later. Yet from the looks of it, no one would know Dubai is suffering or borrowing money.
In October we brought you the outrageous, fully chrome Mercedes-Benz SLR. The shiny sports car was just sitting outside the Emirates mall in Dubai. Well, here we go again. This time its a Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG and this time its fully gold plated not chrome silver. This way intense gold Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG sits right where its silver counterpart used to, out front of the Emirates mall in Dubai. The flashy, borderline trashy, gold-mirror finish was, of course, an aftermarket decision. The cost of adding this gold plated precious metal finish is unknown, but what we would rather know is why someone felt the need to ruin a perfectly good Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG? The silver chromed Benz was enough bling to last a lifetime, the second time around its just dull.

We will tell you because it’s Mercedes Benz, even though we don’t really care. Mercedes Benz has just put out the CLS Grand Edition. The Grand Edition has a few updates and tweaks but nothing we go "oh wow" to. The biggest deal about this Benz seems to be the option of a platinum matte paint finish. The no shine finish will be scratch and dirt resistant, so we will see. When the paint job is what entices you to buy a car, you have bigger problems. Either way, the other exterior features sole to the CLS Grand Edition are Bi-xenon headlamps with dark headlight castings, active headlights, a headlamp cleaning system, unique 18-inch AMG wheels and Grand Edition badging. If you have a CLS then consider the upgrade.
The inside features Alcantara headliner; aluminum sports pedals, wood trim, and ‘Grand Edition’ floor mats, oh my. If you, however, like your cars shiny then no worries, you can get another color in high gloss. Consider obsidian black, iridium silver, carneol red, or flint gray metallic paint colors. Prices for the Merceds Benz CLS Grand Edition start around $92,200 and orders will be filled starting in March 2009, as if we care. […]
