Mercedes-Benz

Mercedes-Benz is preparing for the big launch of the E-Class. According to many of the spy photos that have been splashed all across the internet the new prototype has been given a new front fascia and is definitely an M-B.

The car itself is made out of the W212 mid-size sedan platform - which utilizes the four-link front suspension and mutli-link rear arrangement instead of the conventional electronic braking system. The multi-link rear arrangement is coulpled with the M-B’s Active Body Control (ABC) system.

There were mixed feelings over Mercedes GLK compact SUV. They showed it off at the Detroit Auto Show in January and many people weren’t sure whether the design that it was given was impressively unique or just a little too different for their taste.

Next week Mercedes will again be showing off the GLK and will be introducing us to the gas mileage that the CUV/SUV can get. The Vision GLK BlueTec Hybrid has been built with the new mild hybrid system that both Mercedes and BMW have been working on.

Many people were disappointed with the look and the design of Mercedes new GLK compact SUV. They thought that the SUV was slightly smaller than what they were hoping for. Those who didn’t get to see it in January at the Detroit Auto Show will get their chance to see it in Geneva – though it will be a slightly different concept.

Mercedes top tuner – Lorinser has decided to show off their new Nardo3 concept at the 2008 Geneva Auto Show. Obviously we can expect to see other designs and cars from them – but this is the one that we are all looking forward to. The sleek design of the vehicle mixed with the history of the name reels us in to find out as much as we can about it.

Mercedes is happy to see that Kim Cattrall – who plays Samantha in “Sex and the City” has chosen their GLK Freeside concept as her vehicle of choice for the new movie arriving May 30th. Obviously Mercedes took advantage of this and had her introduce the new concept.

Mercedes-Benz is one of the few automakers who looks to combine a smooth ride with environmental friendliness and great performance and are using their F700 research car as a base for this. The 5.17m-long F700 is the world’s first car that can anticipate and recognise the condition of the road and level out the uneven spots with an active Pre-Scan suspension. Pre-Scan uses two laser sensors in the front headlamp units as “eyes”.
