2000 Mercedes Cl500 Xenon, Amg Rims Owned By Hootie & Blowfish Darius Rucker on 2040-cars
Savannah, Georgia, United States

I've always liked the CL500 and bought this CL500 at a Copart auction as I couldn't understand why it was there. No body damage, no interior damage but the car wouldn't start. So after winning the bid I checked the fuel pump fuse and was pleasantly surprised to hear the V8 engine come to life and sounding good as new. The weird thing was when I was picking up the car I was approached by a worker who asked if I had bought "Hooties Car". I said I guess, and went on my way. When I got the car home I was thinking about "Hooties Car" and went to investigate as I knew he lived around Charleston SC. Sure enough, tucked away in a hidden compartment was the insurance card issued to Darius Rucker, so if you are a Hootie and the Blowfish fan you can have the ultimate souvenir and ride like a Rock (country) Star! If you're not a fan well here is the scoop on the rest of the car. Exterior is very nice with only normal wear and tear associated with a 128K mile car. Its well optioned with everything from a sunroof to rear shade to Xenon headlights. Runs and drives excellent, engine sounds excellent, shifts flawlessly and the hydraulic suspension functions as it should as when you turn the car on and put it in gear you can feel it self level. Interior is good though being at Copart someone decided to steal the shift knob and surrounding trim (see picture). Rims are in good shape but the rear tires are going to need to be replaced. It was issued a salvage title I'm thinking because of a flood related issue as when I pulled the fuse I could see the signs of a water line that barely breached the floor but as the fuse for the fuel pump is located low on the CL it was effected by the water which blew the fuse. The bad things are as follows: sunroof slider shade is in poor shape and missing its felt cover and will need to be replaced or taken out, power seats do not work probably a result of the water intrusion knocking out the computers which are located on the floorboards, radio works but I do not hear any sound, SRS light is on as well as an ABS light. In all a very nice car that still gets a lot of attention even being a 14 year old Mercedes coupe! I am sure I'm forgetting to address something you may want to know so please feel free to email me and I will be glad to answer any questions. Thanks!

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.
Mercedes S-Class Magic Body Control ad is clucking awesome
Tue, 24 Sep 2013This is a new ad from Mercedes-Benz. At no point does it show an automobile. Instead, it stars animals, but not the sort you might normally see in car commercial. This ad is all about chickens. It is bizarre, to say the least, with Diana Ross and the Supremes belting it out in the background, but it all kind of comes together when you realize just what Mercedes is hawking (yeah, pun intended).
It's for the manufacturer's Magic Body Control, found on the new S-Class. The system basically analyzes the road and prepares the suspension accordingly, leading to a ride that is, in the words of our own Chris Paukert "nothing short of spooky." You can read about it in our full review of the 2014 S550. Take a look below for the 53-second spot.
2019 BMW X7 vs luxury SUV rivals: Comparing specs and photos
Wed, Oct 17 2018Today we get our first-ever look at the first-ever 2019 BMW X7 crossover. We've actually already had our first-ever drive in an X7 Prototype. And so, we thought it appropriate to follow that up today with the first-ever X7 comparison of specs between BMW's first-ever three-row crossover with legitimate room for seven and its many high-dollar competitors. On paper, the 2019 X7 definitely seems to most closely align with the Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class. Their similar dimensions, interior space, engine choices and price would certainly imply where BMW placed the target when developing X7. We used those same elements to determine three-row vehicles likely to be cross-shopped or that should be cross-shopped. These include the Audi Q7, Land Rover Discovery, Volvo XC90 and Lincoln Navigator. Yes, the latter is a truck-based SUV as opposed to a crossover, but tell that to all the people lining out the door at the local Lincoln emporium. They do not care, and neither shall we. We also included the 2019 BMW X5, which was completely redesigned for this year and therefore not the first-ever. That makes it less appealing? Either way, lining the new X5 up with the SUV that leapfrogs it atop BMW's SUV hierarchy should provide a good idea of just how much more you get by going up a model number. Engines and model lineup Again, the X7 aligns closest with the GLS, offering a base six-cylinder in its xDrive40i model and an upgrade turbo V8 in the xDrive50i. The Mercedes engines have greater output, but the GLS still accelerates slower than the BMW. As the 2019 X5 offers the exact same engines, we would also expect the X7's fuel economy to be superior to the GLS once its estimates are announced. It should be noted, though, that the GLS offers a high-powered AMG model whereas we anticipate the X7 to offer a plug-in hybrid model comparable to the X5 upcoming xDrive45e model. The other luxury SUVs diverge in their engine choices and model lineup. The Audi Q7 offers a base turbocharged four-cylinder, as does the Volvo XC90 in its T5 model, which we left out of the above chart entirely for space reasons. That the Q7 3.0 TFSI supercharged V6 gets the same fuel economy estimates as the four-cylinder is proof positive that engine is purely around for its lower base price.
