2002 G500. Arguably the most competent 4wd SUV ever built. If you're familiar you can bypass the details. For those that
are not it's a 292hp/340lb/ft 5.0 V8. These cars were designed and conceived in the early 70's and if you
appreciate the ruggedness of "old school" production from the solid axles to the door latches there is nothing like
these trucks. How many 4 x 4's have been produced for the populous that have 3, yes 3 locking differentials. You
can lock the center diff by itself and if it's not enough you can lock the front with the center and if it's not
enough to pull you out you can then add the locking of the rear. Initially these were never imported to the US by
Mercedes rather by a private importer that Mercedes gave the rights to and back in the 80's people were paying
upwards of a $100,000 to buy an suv with rubber floors, roll down windows, plaid cloth seats... Well in 2001
Mercedes decided that there was only room for 1 importer North America so they negotiated their rights back to be
able to import them as the manufacturer. So 2002 was the first year they came in to the US as a US spec delivery.
Since their inception they've evolved to the point of now having leather, power seats and windows, navigation and
most of the other luxuries that us Americans were use to since the 80's. As far as this particular car, the
pictures tell it the way it is. It appears to be original as far as it's paint and is a strong 7-8 out of 10 but
really hasn't been detailed. The interior is free from odors, tears....and is an 8-9. I took a picture of the left
1/4 to show a small (dent doctor dent) about 3-4 inches and looks like a soft depression. The front brush bar was
painted matte black at one point and shows chipping. I would probably remove, strip and have powder coated. The
only other issue that I can see is that the rear head rests were removed by the previous owner and she has no clue
as to where she put them. Other than that it's a really nicely kept 2002 G500. It's a clean carfax showing 2 owners
and 0 accident history. I would have no fear flying in and driving it home.

Mercedes says it's tops in luxury sales for 2012, not BMW
Tue, 19 Feb 2013It turns out that Mercedes-Benz North America has legitimate claim to being the top selling luxury nameplate in the US in 2012.
While sources such as Autodata had put BMW in the top spot, registration data from R.L. Polk shows that Mercedes customers registering new vehicles topped the Bavarian automaker in the most recent calendar year. Polk says Benz posted 274,123 registrations, compared with BMW's 268,498.
In terms of sales posted, BMW had bested Benz 281,460 to 274,134. But sales are recorded somewhat inconsistently from automaker to automaker. Some book the sales as soon as they are shipped from factory to dealer. There is perennial gamesmanship between the two German rivals, and the sales numbers suggest that BMW pushed out some extra sheetmetal to dealers in the last four weeks of the year.
Carlsson SLK 340 Judd is winged up for hill climb glory
Wed, 06 Mar 2013Carlsson has been expertly tuning Mercedes-Benz products for more than 20 years now, but we can't say as we remember the outfit turning out anything quite so racy as this SLK 340 Judd that it has brought along to the Geneva Motor Show this year.
This SLK is meant for competition, obviously, and Carlsson has already booked the car to race in several hill climb events in the E1 category. The purpose-built racer should have a fighting chance to do well in said races, with a shape vetted in wind tunnel testing for maximum downforce, the SLK uses a carbon-fiber bodyshell to help achieve a curb weight of just about 1,720 pounds.
The featherweight SLK's name comes from its 3.4-liter V8 engine, which churns out a wicked 610 horsepower to go with its 317 pound-feet of torque. A Hewland transmission with paddle shift operation manages all of the thrust.
Mercedes teams with Pebble for smartwatch tech
Tue, 24 Dec 2013Most automakers have realized by now that a good infotainment system is a must-have feature for many buyers, and have, as a result, invested increasing amounts of time and money developing these technologies. But some automakers are going above and beyond in-car entertainment and navigation technology by focusing on wearable technology as well.
Nissan has emerged as one such company, developing its own alternative to Google Glass and performance-oriented smartwatch. But Mercedes-Benz is also putting itself at the forefront of wearable tech - not by developing competing products to those designed by dedicated tech companies, but by working with them. The German automaker, as we recently reported, is developing its own app for Google Glass, and is now doing the same with smartwatches as well.
Set to be unveiled at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Mercedes has collaborated with Pebble Technologies to develop the Digital DriveStyle app. The system will display tell its wearer where the car is, whether the doors are locked and if it needs fuel. Inside the car it'll alert the driver to potential hazards coming up on the road, while making functions like re-routing the nav system, controlling the audio system or activating Siri that much easier.
