BenzInsider is going to Germany

bosch BenzInsider is going to Germany
I will be moving to Germany tomorrow to work for one of the biggest companies in the World – Robert Bosch GmbH. It has been great reporting from the US all this time, but I believe that the relocation will give me the opportunity to get the news out much faster and actually be at the location where the news is made. In the coming week, you probably won’t see much news on here, as I will be busy settling in and getting all the paper work that the Germans require for a foreigner to work in the country. This is definitely a new adventure for me, as I haven’t been in Germany for seven years, and of course the work environment and culture will be significantly different than what I have been used in the States.

I will be working in Karlsruhe (Baden Württenberg) at their Automotive Aftermarket division. Wish me luck! icon smile BenzInsider is going to Germany

Mercedes C-Class Promo Video


This is a great promo video of the upcoming C-Class, as it shows you clearly what the C-Class had to go through to fine tune every little part in the car. A lot is riding for Mercedes with this new-gen C-Class, but based on your comments, and many others around the interweb, I can definitely conclude that a lot of people are anxiously awaiting it.

Mercedes-Benz is reporting very positive results for its CLS-Class: More than 100,000 units of the innovative four-door coupe have been delivered to customers around the world since the vehicle was launched in October 2004. “The CLS-Class combines the elegant design vocabulary and dynamics of a coupe with the comfort and functionality of a sedan in a completely unmatched way,” says Dr. Klaus Maier, Executive Vice President Mercedes Car Group, responsible for Sales and Marketing. “The extraordinarily positive customer response to a model that is still unique underscores Mercedes-Benz’ role as a trendsetter in the development of new vehicle concepts and impressively demonstrates the success of our product strategy.”

Demand for the CLS is particularly high in the U.S., where about 27,000 units have been sold since the vehicle was introduced to the market in January 2005.

There is another rumor out there that I personally did not mention when I wrote about the mystery car last week. It seems that every car enthusiast site reporting on this, but as usual I am skeptical about this. These days, anything someone shouts out will be reported on, so let me shout out something here; I think it is the GL AMG, yeah why not, the proportions fit icon smile Is CL63 AMG the mystery car???

Let’s be serious here, it just can’t be the CL, look at the picture above that I constructed, the CL is clearly much longer than the mystery car. Although the roof is pretty close to being the same, but everything else doesn’t match.

If we look at the front, we can clearly see that from the front tip to the fender, the CLs distance is much larger than by the mystery car.

If anyone wants to argue, please leave a comment, but just so you know I have a user that has elgaedldly driven the CLK 63 Black Series and he confirms that it is the mystery car.

His comment:
For having tried the car, I can confirm that it’s the CLK63 AMG Black Series. Let me give you a brief description : Like the SLK AMG Black Series, the door panel is in carbon. This model is only a 2 seater with Recaro style sport seats. The gearstick for the automatic gearbox is very short like in the CLK AMG DTM. On the ashtray cover is written AMG Black Series. The sport steering wheel has a small diameter.
