The most passionate car enthusiasts have it in the blood. In fact, many will insist they have Valvoline racing oil coursing through their veins, and that was simply the way they were bo. When you think about it, few of us can remember when we became interested in cars. We can usually cast our minds back to early childhood memories of helping Dad bleed the brakes by pumping the pedal on command, or being able to name the make and model of any passing vehicle almost as soon as we could talk. Those childhood memories are almost certain to also involve every type of car game going, too, and for anyone bo from the late 1960s onwards, that will include computer games of one type or another. Not...

After giving us a taste of the new2019 Mercedes G-Class interior, Daimler has now released the first photos of the legendary SUV flexing its muscles on an offroad course. Granted, it’s a heavily camo’d prototype, but it does reveal pretty much all that is new about this model. Nobody, of course, expects the2019 Mercedes G-Class to come with a radical new design. It is going to maintain the iconic boxy shape of its predecessor. The new stuff are mainly trivial details such as rounder headlights, slimmer taillights, new bumper design, and a more prominent grille. And that’s alright. We don’t our beloved G-Wagen to look any different. The interior changes have been more substantial, giving ...

Mercedes-Benz UK aounced the official pricing of the new2018 Mercedes S-Class Cabriolet family. It may seem like odd timing giving the weather right now, but you see they are not taking orders for these bad boys in preparation for the spring 2018 launch. So it’ll all work out. The new S-Cabrio comes out just the weather becomes suitable for alfresco motoring. So let’s see how much the privilege of enjoying the new2018 Mercedes S-Class Cabriolet will cost you.

With the world premiere of the all-new2019 Mercedes G-Class set for the Detroit Auto Show in January, the German automaker is giving us a Christmas treat. They have released a bunch of photos completely revealing the SUV’s interior design. And it’s a fine blend of old and new, incorporating the current design themes of Mercedes-Benz into the unique shape of the G-Wagen‘s upright dashboard. To be honest an upgrade to the big G’s cabin was long overdue. They did give it a new steering or a fancy screen now and then, but the overhaul that comes with the2019 Mercedes G-Class is a real improvement in terms of design and ergonomics. There is more space in the new cabin, more luxury and co...

The first tuner to treat the newMercedes X-Class pickup truck like a proper Benz is Prior Design. They have come have come up with a wide body package for the workhorse which kind of nullifies the whole point of the vehicle, but makes it look a helluva lot cooler. The PD500 package as they call thePrior Design Mercedes X-Class wide body consists of a few simple parts that replace the original components. They are designed for the sole purpose of increasing the X-Class’ sex appeal. So you get massive new bumpers and skirts and fenders. And while these are not very practical for, say, farm work, they look absolutely sensational when you cruise around town in your tricked-out truck....

Just out of the blue Mercedes-Benz decided to release the first official photos of the2018 Mercedes A-Class after a preview event in Germany. These photos, mind, show only the interior of the new premium hatchback. But at least they reveal the interior in full. And it’s pretty cool. Having a unified corporate look might such as Mercedes and all the other major automakers have does make the cars of a certain brand look pretty much identical. But on the upside it means that even smaller, cheaper models benefit from the cues of the bigger, more expensive ones. And that is the reason the cabin of the2018 Mercedes A-Class looks very similar to that of an S-Class. You get the same sor...

One of the latest projects of Folienwerk-NRW tuning center is a Prior Design Mercedes S-Class (W221 generation) which they have kitted out, wheeled up, and then wrapped in chameleon colors. This kind of wrap seems to be back in trend. In any case we are seeing more and more of them around. The Prior Design Mercedes S-Class the boys at NRW have worked on features a full set wide body kit complete with aero parts and everything. It must be one of the most heavily tuned W221s in the whole world, what with the kit, the suspension, and the wheels, not to mention the wrap which they call Rising Sun Red/Gold. But is it the coolest, the prettiest, the most elegant? Obviously no! The wide body k...

In recent years, and for some unfathomable reason, Mercedes-Benz suddenly went convertible crazy and launched one drop-top after another. It would be all right, except that in doing so they undermined their own established convertible like the SL and the SLK by cars like the S Class convertible and this, the new Mercedes C Class Cabrio. But an average customer doesn’t care about all that. They are just happy that they have more choices now should they decide they want a luxurious open-top motor with exquisite design and top-notch quality. The 2017 Mercedes C Class Cabrio, in its base C180 guise, is one of the most affordable cars of this series of cars, but as we know itis good for a co...
