Intel at IDF 2009 announced that the car manufactures, BMW and Mercedes-Benz have decided to use Intel Atom powered infotainment system in their cars and such cars will be available in the year 2012. BMW will use it in its 7-series and Mercedes-Benz will use it in S-class and C-class.
Back in my day, there was no such thing as in-car entertainment other than just looking out the window. Sometimes you would be allowed to stick your head outside too if the dog wasn’t in the way…

To be honest I was a little worried about the dubs. Giant 21 inch alloys and low profile tires seemed about the last thing Mercedes-Benz’s comfortable and capable GL-series SUV needed; pointlessly expensive Beverly Hills bling that would surely prove as useful as a chandelier on the Space Shuttle.
I like the GL-series a lot. It was our 2007 Sport Utility of the Year, and deservedly so. It’s the best vehicle Benz builds off the hardware that also supports the ML-cl…

Great Ride, Difficult Brakes, Good Big-Car Fuel Economy, that’s what I wanna to say
With its 2010 S400 Hybrid, Mercedes-Benz has taken some significant steps to redefine the premium hybrid sedan market - in part by minimizing the premium.
Despite cutting-edge technology that includes what the automaker says is the world’s first lithium-ion battery designed specifically for automotive use, Mercedes-Benz new entry-level U.S. is priced staring at $88,825…

Having given the SL its annual hose down in preparation for tomorrow’s meet, I took pity on the S Class and gave it a thorough hand wash this morning.
Then I received a text from MB Cheltenham & Gloucester advising me that they are offering a free “Efficiency Check” this weekend.
I had intended to visit them at some point anyway - they are a bit off my normal beat but I wanted to give them feed back that, in 3 years since I bought it, the car has had no faults.
I pop…

Just about everything I have bought out of the MB Lifestyles Collection catalog was made in China (flashlight, umbrella, keychain, etc.) and they seem to be of good quality. I think it’s reasonable to assume that the cars might be next.
January 30, 2008 – Chinese-made Mercedes-Benz C class will be launched in Chinese market by mid-March and it will be slightly cheaper than imported units, a sales official from Beijing-Benz-Daimler-Chrysler (BBDC) told SZBENZ.com

The luxury wagon business isn’t growing in the U.S. BMW is likely to scrub importation of its 5 Series wagon after the hatchback 5 Series Grand Touring makes its debut here, evening out the lux estate business as Cadillac adds the CTS Sports Wagon. And the bestseller in this category is the Audi A4 Avant, which sells about 4000 units here in a good year.
That’s not enough to keep the king of luxury import wagons away, though. The latest generation of the Mercedes-Ben…
