Vehicle Overview:

Mercedes-Benz's luxury sport utility vehicle gains a bigger 5.0-liter V-8 engine, which changes the name of the ML430 model to ML500 for the 2002 model year. Fresh lower bodywork and some interior revisions are also apparent.

Built in the United States, the M-Class comes in three models: the ML320, ML500 and the high-performance ML55. The ML500 has permanently engaged four-wheel drive with a Low range and a five-speed-automatic transmission with Touch Shift. Traction control works when going downhill and while accelerating. Mercedes-Benz's Tele Aid emergency communication system can summon help or track a stolen vehicle.

Exterior
Measuring only an inch longer than the rival Lexus RX 300, the four-door M-Class is 180.6 inches overall and rides a 111-inch wheelbase. At nearly 70 inches high, the M-Class is more than 4 inches taller than the RX 300. All models have a one-piece liftgate at the rear.

Interior
Seating five occupants, the M-Class has front buckets and a three-person split rear seat that folds to expand cargo space to 85 cubic feet. Leather upholstery is standard on the ML500 and ML55 and optional on the base ML320. The traditional Mercedes dashboard layout is augmented by a 5-inch LCD display with touch controls in the center console that operate climate, audio and telephone functions. On upper-end models, it also operates the standard GPS-based navigation system.

Under the Hood
The horsepower rating for the new 5.0-liter V-8 in the ML500 is 288 horsepower. The ML500 uses a five-speed-automatic transmission. Permanently engaged four-wheel drive distributes power among the four wheels as needed to maintain traction. Unlike rivals such as the BMW X5 and Lexus RX 300, Mercedes insists that the M-Class is a true offroad vehicle.

Safety
Dual-stage front airbags and side-impact airbags for both the front and rear seats are standard. Mercedes' Tele Aid emergency communication system can summon help, and it kicks in automatically if an airbag deploys to call Mercedes' roadside-assistance center. The system also can be used to track a stolen vehicle. The standard enhanced traction control system works when going both downhill and uphill or when accelerating.

Man makes record-setting drive across the US in 28 hours, 50 minutes

Fri, 01 Nov 2013

Records, as the say, are made to be broken. Whether that's cramming the most hot dogs down your gullet, running a faster mile, or yes, driving across the United States, odds are that there's someone out there wants to eat more, run faster or drive harder. Speaking of that last example, the record for driving from a set location on the east coast, in particular the Red Ball Garage in Manhattan to the Portofino Hotel in Redondo Beach, CA, has been one that has fascinated gearheads since a guy named Cannonball Baker made the trek from New York to LA in 53 hours, 30 minutes, in 1933.
The competition saw its glory days when Car and Driver's Brock Yates came up with the Cannonball Baker Sea-To-Shining Sea Memorial Trophy Dash (more affectionately known as the Cannonball Run), although the record was most recently set by Alex Roy and his 32-hour, seven-minute trek behind the wheel of a BMW M5 in 2006. Now, there's a new champion, who made the trip from east to west in a scarcely imaginable 28 hours and 50 minutes, behind the wheel of a 2004 Mercedes-Benz CL55 AMG. That's works out to an average speed of 98 miles per hour over the course of 2,813.7 miles.
His name is Ed Bolian, and Jalopnik has a writeup of the epic voyage that details everything from the history of the Cannonball Run to Bolian's preparation and trouble finding co-drivers, to the trip itself. It is well worth a read.

European automakers gear up for Brazilian production

Mon, 07 Oct 2013

Brazil is the place to be, apparently. Toyota has been investing in the South American country, as has BMW, which announced a $261 million investment in October 2012, on the heels of an Audi factory announcement in San José Chiapa. The high-end immigration is only set to continue, as Mercedes-Benz and Jaguar-Land Rover have both announced plans to set up manufacturing operations there.
Mercedes is the big news here, as its new facility will see the German manufacturer invest 170-million euros for production of its next-generation C-Class and upcoming GLA-Class. "Brazil is an important future market. With our local production we accept the challenge and take on the competition," noted Andreas Renschler, Management Board member for Production and Procurement at Mercedes-Benz Cars and Mercedes-Benz Vans. Production is expected to begin by 2016.
Jaguar-Land Rover, meanwhile, isn't so concrete in its plans. The news of its investment in South America comes from a job posting for a plant quality manager in Brazil that was picked up by the UK's AutoCar. "Portuguese language skills will be definite advantage" for interested candidates, according to the job listing. The want ad follows on the heels of remarks by Jaguar Land Rover's Dr. Ralph Speth, who said there are "very intensive discussions" with Brazil's government. Unlike Mercedes, there's no mention of which vehicles will be produced in South America, although AutoCar thinks the Freelander, sold in the US as the LR2, is a leading contender.
