E-Class Coupe spotted again in Germany – with almost no camo

We’re only a few months away from the Geneva Auto Show, where the E-Class Coupe is supposed to be revealed, but we are being bombarded by the newest spy shots of the upcoming Coupe. Yesterday spy photographers spotted a test vehicle in Wales, and today we get spy shots of another test vehicle, this time in Germany. This latest shot spots even less camo and is almost fully visible; the only thing covered are the head and taillights. This shot also clearly shows the resemblance to the current CL; I guess we have another name for it then – the baby CL. Autoblog.it via Jalopnik

Thousands and thousands of cars are being stored at ports, just waiting there until a dealer decides to replenish their inventory. With the current economic conditions, where thousands of people are losing their jobs and even homes, it’s difficult, especially for luxury car manufacturers, to attract customers.

E-Class Coupe test-mule spotted on UK roads

Spy shots of new Mercedes-Benz models just keep popping up. Just yesterday we got a glimpse at the next-gen CLS, and this morning we get to see numerous spy shots of the new E-Class Coupe, aka CLK, which should go on sale sometimes next year. Spy photographers spotted the test mule on UK roads, and did not hesitate to capture some great shots of the right-hand-drive Coupe in Llandudno, Wales. As we’ve already discussed in the past, the new Coupe front-end will be based on the Concept Fascination; the pillar-less side is very reminiscent to the current CL-Class. Autocar also reports that higher-end cupes will get LED daytime running lights,… Continue Reading »

New Next-Gen Mercedes-Benz CLS spy shots

We’ve seen spy shots of the next-gen CLS a few weeks back, but here are some more. This time we not only get to see the back of the test mule, but also the front and side. Test engineers have actually covered it up so much that it’s almost impossible to recognize the CLS, nevertheless, the world-famous CLS form is there and clearly visible. The spy photographer noted that it will be based on the E-Class and not the S-Class platform, as some have suggested. It will however, get the BlueHybrid engine that will be coming with the S 400, as well as all the diesel and gasoline engines from… Continue Reading »

SLR roadster won’t be available in the US market

Welcome back everyone, hope you enjoyed the holidays and the time with your family. I am sure Santa treated you with some nice gifts this year, maybe even a new Benz. To kick things off again, we’ll start with a somewhat disappointing story. It seems that even tough Mercedes-Benz will unveil the new SLR Roadster (Stirling Moss) at the Detroit Auto Show; it will not sell the roadster in the US market, according to some sources. Only 75 Stirling Moss SLRs will be built starting in June 2009. The roadster will carry a price tag of $1.04 million; current SLR owners will most likely get the option at buying it… Continue Reading »
