Auto123 has another great review about the 2007 S-class for us, but this time, they are reviewing the 4Matic version. Just like with the last review, they like it a lot. I am not surprised at their reaction, considering everyone that has reviewed it, had only positive things to say, well other than the haters out there. Here is a small quote that sums it up.

On the twisty Adirondack roads, the big car belies its formidable size with nimbleness dreamt of by cars half its size. The S-Class’ steering starts out light but quickly weighs up to provide proper assistance for negotiating mountain roads. The brakes perform admirably well but suffer from the same lack of communication as other Benzes.

DCX is launching a new and very interesting marketing campaign for their Smart brand in Europe, which is supposed to reward those that do good deeds. Europe is full of secret heroes. And smart is giving these heroes a voice. The “smart and the city” tour starts on 22 January in the Spanish city of Madrid. After stops in Portugal, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Austria and Switzerland the tour will end in Italy in March. Stops in a total of 30 towns and cities in nine countries are scheduled for the tour.

Creating the Mercedes-Benz Ocean Drive


Just like the new C-Class, the Ocean Drive concept impressed everyone with its beautiful design. It took the Mercedes brand to a new level by taking design points from the previous Mercedes models. It “square” look reminds me of the mid-nineties models, but its futuristic headlights and its soft-top add a unique touch to the car making it very popular among the car nuts. I know you can’t get enough of it, so here is a video that I found on TopSpeed via Autoblog and uploaded by Alle-Autos-In.

First Look: 2008 Mercedes-Benz C-Class

InsideLine got the chance for a first look at the all new 2008 C-class. It would have been nice if they were given the chance to take the car for a test drive, unfortunately, Mercedes gave them the permission to experience the car as much as they want as longs as the engine wasn’t running. Geneva auto show will be the first opportunity to get behind the steering wheel and turn the ignition key. They covered most of the important stuff that one can do without driving the car, so head over to Edmunds and read the whole article.

Mercedes design boss speaks out

UKs Car Magazine set down with Mercedes chief designer, Peter Pfeiffer, for a quick Q&A. Here is the what he had to say about the current models and the future one.

What’s the point of the Ocean Drive concept?
We had a discussion last year about the current Mercedes-Benz line-up. Mercedes has a very strict design and the idea came up to do a forward-looking car. The Ocean Drive concept is not looking back into the history books at all; we wanted to create a dream.

Some say it looks like a Maybach…

It was always going to be a Mercedes – not a Maybach.

Will you build it?

We are going to make a decision whether to build the Ocean Drive or not in the next two to four weeks.
