In mid-October, the head of GAZ Group’s Bo Anderson also said about a possible collaboration with the automobile concern Volkswagen. It is expected that an agreement on the issue of German car brand in the “gas” will be signed after the introduction in Russia of a new regime of industrial assembly. In addition, to manufacture its cars at the Gorky Automobile Plant was proposed alliance and Hyundai-Kia.

Mercedes-Benz unveiled the first models of the ninth generation E-Class, with so many performance and security innovations, which the German automaker said the car is most advanced in its history of more than a century.

The best selling luxury sedan
With over 10 million units sold since 1947 when the first model 170 Vmode 60 years, Mercedes-Benz E-Class positioned as the most successful luxury sedan in the world and the new generation is the successor to a model that sold more 1.3 million units only since 2002.

In Germany alone, more than 4% of all sedans carry the mark E on your behalf and in most Western European countries, the Class E is the number one luxury model.

The new E Class Sedan and Coupe 2010 go on sale in the U.S. in June as the first two of the new line that was later added a station wagon and a convertible.

Mercedes-Benz AMG also adds a version for Sedan in the summer of 2010.

Mercedes-Benz will initially offer two engines for each of the versions: a 3.5-liter V6 that generates 268 horsepower and a V8 5.5 with 382. Blue TEC V6 turbo diesel engine 3.0, approved for sale in all 50 states will arrive in early 2010.

All models will be coupled to the seven-speed automatic transmission with integrated lever to the steering column, except for the Coupe, which will keep it on the center console. The traction system 4MATIC all-wheel drive is available for all models from autumn 2009.

The main changes to the E-Class starts with a new overall structure that is 30% stiffer seats, which include massage functions and 14 positions with electronic controls, a new suspension with shock absorbers that automatically adjust according to road conditions. The optional suspension AIRMATIC now works with an automated system that continuously adjusts to further improve the smoothness of driving.

The most impressive of the new E-Class is its safety equipment includes systems like ATTENTION ASSIST, that alerts the driver when driving erratically by fatigue, the Lane Keeping Assist, which helps keep the car in the lane when there inadvertent change of address, the Blind Spot Monitor, which alerts the driver of the car found in the blind spots up to 10 feet away, the Adaptive High beam Assist, illuminating the road at night adjusting to road conditions and The Automatic Emergency Braking, which makes the car brake before the imminence of an accident.

Another new accessory in the E-Class system with parking PARKTRONIC Guidance, measuring the space available to park and instructs the driver to make the move without error.

And to ensure that all systems comply with its objective, the engineers at Mercedes-Benz models Nuevo handled the equivalent of six million miles and subjected the two models to 150 crash tests, when authorities require only 40, in addition of 17 000 simulations.

In addition to all safety accessories, the new E Class has nine airbags as basic equipment, including for the first time, a knee and another to protect the pelvis.

The company Mercedes Benz launched a model that breaks all known management trends so far. The new SCL 600 not only does not need a steering wheel to drive the vehicle but now must lead by using a joystick for playing videogames.

According to published ON24 site, the technology driving this system comes from the devices used by young people and that technology does not take long to reach the automotive industry.

While the commitment to drive a car without a steering wheel is large, the German company continued to changing the way you drive. Now people who buy the new SCL 600 with joystick will have to get used to brake, accelerate and change gear without pedals.

The change is great and people have to adapt to change as progress made with automatic. But now, the German company makes a bet twice.

If you’re one of the lucky ones to buy the new Mercedes Benz car, you’ll have to take care of the shocks, scratches, theft and your children, have already incorporated the joystick handling thanks to video games.

Significant changes to the CL shows the new model year at the front. LED headlamps, hood and swept a stronger, a modified grille stand out.

In fact, the four-door coupe, Audi has not invented the small but growing niche of distinguished hatchback vehicles enriched but at a particularly elegant variant. Does style form the Mercedes CLS from some angles like a beached whale, it was the Audi, placed more value on an almost filigree tail, ending long and flat. This ideal coupe is so much to the extreme that the A7 would be no aerodynamic aids no longer stable at high speeds on the road. He has to wear a rear spoiler – nothing that thrilled a designer, even if the spoiler in the state in the tailgate and hidden until 130 km / h automatically moves out. “Otherwise, the tail 50 mm should have been higher,” says design chief Egger, and that would have destroyed the line.

Miraculously, the passengers suffer in the back seat is not flat under the roof. Although you have when entering a little head tilt to the side in order to get on the roof does not boil, but you sit in it only once, then you sit well. The architecture of the A6 platform, with their low take-up points for the seats here have played into the hands of the designers, said Egger. And virtually the A7 Sport back is of course: the trunk, if advised unusually flat and long takes, with 530 liters of as much as that of a very good middle class sedan – works to the rear seats to fit into 1390 liters, and the obligatory in this car class question of the golf bag is granted by the Audi executives also positive: Two piece suit.

The new Mercedes S350 S-Class BlueTEC is the most effective and safest ever built. With AdBlue ®, it requires only 6.8 liters of diesel per 100 km and 177 g / km of CO2, which corresponds to a decrease of 11%. At the same time, the 2011 S350 BlueTEC also gains the power to reach 258 hp and 620 Nm The 2011 model year also gives the S350 BlueTEC Active Blind Spot Assist and Active Lane Keeping Assist.

The new Mercedes S350 BlueTEC combines safety, comfort and performance. Its V6 diesel is actually more simple and more powerful. Thus, Mercedes announced a consumption of only 6.8 liters per 100 kilometers, or 0.8 liters less than the 2010 model year. CO2 emissions receive the same treatment from 199 to 177 g / km. All this is put in parallel with the increase in power (258 hp [190 kW] cons 235 hp [173 kW] before). More power also means that the torque, up 15% to 620 Nm! These figures revised upwards to allow the greenest of the Class S to claim a 0-100 km / h in only 7.1 s and a top speed of 250 km / h, electronically limited.

The label corresponds Mercedes BlueTEC diesel engines to using what is called AdBlue ®, a solution that reduces emissions. It is widely used by the brand with the star in California, where the rules on emissions of pollutants from diesel engines are very strict (which is unfortunately not the case with us …). With AdBlue ®, the S350 BlueTEC 2011 is already complies with Euro 6. Standards which will come into force in four years. Hats Mercedes! The tank of AdBlue ®, a capacity of 25.7 liters, is installed under the floor of the luggage. The booster is made at regular meetings every 25 000 km.

The changeover to the 2011 model year also gives the S350 BlueTEC gain safe. The beautiful German law has in fact two new support system to conduct high-tech: the Active Lane Keeping Assist and Blind Spot Assist Active.

The first is similar to what is known among competitors in the name of “warning lane. When a line is off the ground by the car without the flash is activated, the system sends via the steering wheel, small vibrations in response to the driver and put it back on the right path.

For his part, Active Blind Spot Assist alerts the driver with a small red light in the outside rearview mirror when the driver wants to make a line change and there is danger of an accident. For example, if the driver did not notice the blind spot in the presence of a motorcycle. This system works for both left and right. No response from the driver, the system can, via the ESC push the car to its original lane.

For parallel to the arrival of the new S350 BluTEC, all S-Class are now entitled to some new features that make them even more exclusive. Mercedes is offering two new packages, for example (or rather two new lines of equipment): the “Passion” and “Exclusive PASSION” (the latter is standard on the S600). But the cleverest of all these newcomers, it is the system Bang & Olufsen BeoSound AMG (standard on the S65 AMG). It delivers throughout its 15 speakers 1200 watts of music power.

Music can be enjoyed on long trips without tiring the passengers, thanks to a dynamic compensation of noise: a microphone built into the roof sheathing between the doors provide a continuous supply of data on the interior noise level in real time. The digital audio processor scans all frequency bands and increases the volume to vehicle speed – via individual adjustment of each speaker or different frequency ranges.

The German manufacturer Silver Arrow has unveiled through the internet the first pictures of the second generation of its flagship model CLS-Class. A decision which followed the accidental introduction of Internet photos of this car.

The Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class has emerged for the first time in October 2004 and had then given birth to a whole new niche cars say four-door coupe. Until now, she remained alone on his planet so-called prestige model, but soon she will be joined by the new Audi A7 and BMW will inherit the future shape of the Gran Coupe concept.

A CLS more typed
The new Mercedes-Benz CLS borrows a style akin to that of the S-Class sedan in its rear section ¾ and the SL-Class in its section ¾ front.

However, it is at its facies redesigned the next CLS-Class will stand out above the current model.

The new grille house of the German mark found on the wonderful butterfly doors SLS AMG will also be used by the CLS 2011. At his side, we find prominent flagship lodge where no less than 71 LEDs. The taillights are also LED.

Last fall, in an effort to reassert itself in an increasingly competitive luxury sedan market, Mercedes-Benz rolled out a completely redesigned, new generation of its top-of-the-line S-Class. The sleeker, aerodynamically designed model maintained classic visual cues long associated with the Mercedes brand, but emphasized a clear break from earlier generations with a youthful, more rounded and sporty body. The goal? To maintain loyal MB customers, and at the same time, catch the attention of a slightly younger buyer. It’s worked and this German automaker has received high praise from both critics and the buying public. Read the rest of this entry »

Vermont’s green mountains blur into a rich pallete of summer as I motor along Route 7 north of Bennington, Vermont. An occasional patch of yellow or red is the harbinger of fall, which will soon come to New England. As I shift into sixth gear and settle in for a smooth and tranquil high-speed run up this straight stretch of macadam, I recognize that at-peace-with-the-world feeling that motorcar enthusiasts get when the day is good and the ride is great . . . and the top is down.

With the launch of the C-Class in 1993, Mercedes-Benz introduced not only a fine new car but a revolutionary corporate philosophy. Until then, engineers essentially ran the company. Decade-long product development was the norm, and by the end of the process the marketers could truly claim that their cars were “Engineered Like No Other Car in the World.” But today, for a number of reasons, not the least of which is a new generation of Germans, Mercedes has chosen to move more faster, lighter, and cheaper to broaden the sales success of the marque. This new strategy has injected excitement (SLK, CLK, M-Class, the four-eyed E-Class) into the formerly stodgy company, but in some ways the first C-Class was remains the best mix of traditional Mercedes values with its latest trait: value for the dollar. Until we drive the second-generation car, we won’t know how well the balance has been struck this time, but from the recent introduction things look pretty good indeed. Read the rest of this entry »
