This 2012 Mercedes G550 is not your typical silver G550. Aside from the low mileage (~19.8k miles), spotless interior/exterior and the meticulous care that's been given to the car (i.e. garaged), several cosmetic modifications were made to "de-bling" this modern, California G-Wagen. 1. Five 16x7.5" Mercedes Ashtaroth wheels were imported directly from the Mercedes factory in Germany to replace the louder 18" versions that come standard with the U.S. G550s. These are the same wheels that Mercedes puts on its armored G-Wagens abroad, they cost ~$550-600 per wheel. Mated to the five 16" Ashtaroth wheels are five Michelin A/T 265x75-16 tires (four have about 10k miles on them, the spare is completely unused) and the factory tire pressure monitoring system. 2. The flashy chrome spare tire carrier was replaced with a custom wheel cover made by www.gwagenaccessories.com. This wheel cover was then painted with the factory Mercedes silver color to match the body and a factory Mercedes star emblem was attached. The wheel cover actually opens and closes for storage inside the wheel and is lockable with an integrated combination lock. This addition was ~$1000. http://g-wagenaccessories.com/products/wheelcover.htm 3. The chrome running boards were removed and replaced with custom rock sliders, also from www.gwagenaccessories.com. These sliders are not only functional but they cover the exhaust on either side of the vehicle. For those who prefer the running boards, I still have those too and am happy to install them if needed. The rock rails were ~$900. http://g-wagenaccessories.com/products/LWBw463RockSlider.htm 4. The hood indicator lights were changed from clear to the factory amber. I still have the clear lenses if you 'd like me to switch them back before the vehicle is picked up or shipped. 5. Weathertech floor mats accompany the barely-used stock floor mats which are also in "as new" condition. This G550 still has about 6 months of factory warranty remaining and was purchased from R.A.B. Motors in Marin County with an additional year of Certified Pre-Owned warranty. Factory warranties are transferable to the new owner but please check to see if CPOs are transferable. The vehicle has 19,800 miles and the 20,000 mile service was just recently completed by R.A.B Motors in Marin County. No accidents, clean carfax, clean title, never off road, not in the salt belt of America. You will be hard pressed to find a cleaner and more tastefully modified G550.

Mercedes-Benz to build new ML coupe-crossover in Alabama in 2015

Fri, 05 Sep 2014

Mercedes-Benz will expand its factory in Tuscaloosa, AL, to build the ML Coupe, a new crossover that will join its lineup in 2015. Mercedes will also ramp up production to build facelifted versions of the M-Class and GL-Class SUVs, lifting the factory's total production capacity to about 300,000 units annually in 2015. It made 185,000 vehicles in 2013. In addition to SUVs, the Tuscaloosa site also makes the C-Class sedan.
The plans come as part of Mercedes' strategy to capitalize on Americans' increasing demands for SUVs. The company said the SUV market was up 12 percent in first half of 2014, and expects it to grow at twice the rate of the regular market in 2015 and 2016.

New Mercedes-Maybach concept set to debut at 2018 Beijing Motor Show

Fri, Apr 13 2018

Mercedes-Maybach builds some of the most kitted out and opulent production cars in the world. Think of the Maybach S 560 and S 650 as a Mercedes S-Class taken to the next level of luxury. Today, Mercedes-Maybach revealed a new teaser for what looks like a concept for a new EV. The car is set to debut in just a few weeks at the 2018 Beijing Motor Show. This might be the Maybach SUV we reported on a few weeks back. It's difficult to make out too many details, but it definitely looks different than the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 that we've seen floating around for the past couple of years. A close-up shot of the steering wheel shows the soft blue glow that Mercedes has put on the EQ-branded concept cars. Other images show clean white leather, rose gold trim and a pair of seats flanking a flower-encrusted panel. All the shots appear to be of the concept's interior, so we can't say for sure that this is the rumored Maybach SUV. Either way, it's sure to be just as luxurious and formidable as anything the automaker currently has on the road. We're hoping they come up with another G-Class Landaulet.

2015 Mercedes C-Class owners reporting bleeding seats [UPDATE]

Wed, Jan 7 2015

UPDATE: Daimler AG became aware that, in a small number of individual cases, it is possible for temporary spots and/or shiny patches to form on the man-made leather surfaces of the 2015 C-Class in sub-freezing temperatures. No accidents or injuries have been reported, and we have no reason to believe that there are any hazards to customers. Replacement parts are expected to start shipping to dealers by next week. Owners of the 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class are learning the hard way that you don't necessarily want to buy a new vehicle in its first model year. Besides reports of poorly fitting taillights and faulty infotainment touchpads, a number of reports are popping up on the forums of MBWorld.org claiming that the compact luxury sedan's seats are, for lack of a better term, bleeding. Owners of US-built, 2015 C-Classes fitted with MB Tex vinyl interiors are reporting a white, oily, shiny residue discoloring their seats that shows up, often after cold cars are quickly heated. It's important to note that this residue is not necessarily staining the seats permanently – warm, soapy water is often all that's needed to restore the original finish. In other cases, the residue disappears of its own accord, only to reappear in an entirely different pattern. That doesn't make things any more acceptable to owners, many of whom have reached out to Mercedes with complaints. It's not clear how many vehicles are affected, but there are a sizable number of forum threads on the issue on MBWorld alone, and the problem is prevalent enough that Mercedes has issued a technical service bulletin to its dealers. According to the forum postings, the TSB instructs service technicians to replace the headrest and seat cover (except for the front, passenger-side seat bottom because of "factory calibration issues") in affected customer vehicles. New C-Class models in dealer inventories, meanwhile, are to get the soapy water treatment if they're showing signs of the residue. Neither one of those moves seems to represent a long-term fix, though. Black MB Tex seats – both the standard and sport variety – seem to be particularly susceptible to the residue, although we stumbled across at least one image of what looks like Silk Beige MB Tex with speckles of residue.
