Downgrading the Mercedes R-Class

Muamer Hodzic August 13, 2007

It seems that Mercedes is finally listening to their customers and taking appropriate steps to increase the sales of their R-Class. Next year, the cheapest R-Class you can get will be the 268hp R350, which has a V6 no AWD and cost you about $43,000. Originally, the cheapest R350 started at around $48,000. Other R models will retain standard AWD. In the past, spotting a 500 HP AMG R63 has been difficult, probably due to its $80,000 price tag. Spotting one now will be even harder.

And just like any other Mercedes product, they said positive things about it, even though the fuel economy and the usual high price-tag was a negative. Here is a nice quote that sums it up. However, the R63 is a hugely capable machine combining effort- less pace and comfort. Buyers with deep… Continue Reading »

2007 Mercedes-Benz R63 AMG

Muamer Hodzic November 7, 2006

It seems like every model in the Mercedes portfolio has a AMG version, that of course is far from being bad, to the contrary, Mercedes is setting a standard by making every model a sport rocket you can enjoy, but also at the same time keep it comfortable and safe. Now the safe part gets a bit distorted as you are racing down the highway and around sharp corners, but the ability to drive the kids to soccer practice and to floor it on the way back is just phenomenal. That is what the guys over at MotorTrend found out as well when they tested the usually quiet and conservative… Continue Reading »
