Okay, here you go all you "Mercedes Benz wanna be owners but never thought you could afford one".  This one is for you!  This is a proven "head turner"!  Don't let the fact that this car is located in Minnesota deter you.  I bought this car out of Chandler, Arizona in 1999 and have owned it ever since and it has never been out of the garage during the Minnesota winters.  It has never been exposed to our road salts here, guaranteed.  This is, quite probably, one of the cleanest 1986 Benz's you'll ever find.  I bought it with 100,000 miles on it and have only put 36,000 miles on it since then.  I used it for cruising on summer trips to the Western National Parks, to Canada and for local trips.  Very little daily use, Almost exclusively trip use.  This is a real sweet ride.  You can be confident of jumping into this car and driving anywhere in the US.  This car has very attractive European headlights, new Michelin tires, and very nice chrome Mercedes Benz Wheels that cost over $400 each at initial installation.  I have just had them all "trued-in" for roundness and this car goes down the road smooth a silk.  This has has never been smoked in and the interior is clean as can be. I put a new transmission in this car at about 105,000 miles and it performs flawlessly.  The engine uses no oil at all.  No drips no runs!  The sound system, although adequate for a tone deaf person such as myself, could use some upgrading according to my son.  The Kenwood system (single CD) functions fine, but the speaker system could be improved, so my son says.  Sounds fine to me, but......??

Chris Harris falls in love with Mercedes-AMG GT at Laguna Seca

Thu, Dec 4 2014

It's not every day that an automaker goes down a market segment and still comes off as even more ambitious, but that's exactly what Mercedes has done with the new AMG GT. While the SLS was bigger and more expensive, with the new GT, Mercedes has set its sights on one of the most iconic sports cars of all time. That, of course, would be the Porsche 911, and the big question is whether Benz has achieved its target. For the answer, we turn to none other than the Monkey himself – the inimitable Chris Harris, who recently went solo with his own YouTube channel. And for his latest segment, he took the latest German sports car around no less suitable a track than Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.

Poor headlights cause 40 cars to miss IIHS Top Safety Pick rating

Mon, Aug 6 2018

Over the past few months, we've noticed a number of cars and SUVs that have come incredibly close to earning one of the IIHS's highest accolades, the Top Safety Pick rating. They have great crash test scores and solid automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning systems. What trips them up is headlights. That got us wondering, how many vehicles are there that are coming up short because they don't have headlights that meet the organization's criteria for an "Acceptable" or "Good" rating. This is a revision made after 2017, a year in which headlights weren't factored in for this specific award. This is also why why some vehicles, such as the Ford F-150, might have had the award last year, but have lost it for this year. We reached out to someone at IIHS to find out. He responded with the following car models. Depending on how you count, a whopping 40 models crash well enough to receive the rating, but don't get it because their headlights are either "Poor" or "Marginal." We say depending on how you count because the IIHS actual counts truck body styles differently, and the Infiniti Q70 is a special case. Apparently the version of the Q70 that has good headlights doesn't have adequate forward collision prevention technology. And the one that has good forward collision tech doesn't have good enough headlights. We've provided the entire list of vehicles below in alphabetical order. Interestingly, it seems the Volkswagen Group is having the most difficulty providing good headlights with its otherwise safe cars. It had the most models on the list at 9 split between Audi and Volkswagen. GM is next in line with 7 models. It is worth noting again that though these vehicles have subpar headlights and don't quite earn Top Safety Pick awards, that doesn't mean they're unsafe. They all score well enough in crash testing and forward collision prevention that they would get the coveted award if the lights were better.

2017 Aston Marin Lagonda could live on Mercedes M-Class platform

Tue, 29 Oct 2013

A few weeks ago, we brought you news from the launch of the Aston Martin Vanquish Volante that the British brand, which is formally known as Aston Martin Lagonda, was still planning on going ahead with a Lagonda-badged crossover. Now comes word that that vehicle could very well be based on a Mercedes-Benz M-Class.
When the first Lagonda Concept debuted at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show, it sat on a Mercedes-Benz GL-Class platform, some four years before Aston Martin and Mercedes-AMG deal was inked. And with that partnership, which will see Aston Martin gain access to AMG electrics and "bespoke, V8 powertrains," the opportunities for platform sharing are many.
Dr. Ulrich Bez, the boss of Aston Martin, told the UK's AutoCar, "I look at what Porsche is doing with the 911 as its core business and then it is able to do models like the Cayenne based on the Volkswagen Touareg. It is good business." We've said many times that we'll tolerate exotic CUVs and SUVs if it means keeping the beloved core models alive, which has been the case with Porsche. We see no reason Aston Martin wouldn't be able to do the same.
