We've spied the next version of Mercedes-Benz's hottest four-door coupe several times already, but today the wait is over to see beneath the camo to the real thing. Mercedes-AMG has unveiled the 2012 CLS63 AMG live at the 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show. Despite hanging onto the "63" nomenclature like...

We brought you the full details on the new CL-Class AMG line back in July, complete with the impressive new 5.5-liter twin-turbo V-8 under the hood. Seeing it in person inspires a whole new level of lust, however, with the busy front end less noticeable than the gorgeously sculted curves of the...

Burbling turbo V-8 power, a sleek four-door coupe profile, and now, AMG badges. That's what's on deck this week for the 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show in the form of the 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG, which is making its world debut. The 5.5-liter twin-turbo V-8 promises 518 horsepower and 516...

Just as the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe was previewed with the ConceptFASCINATION shooting brake at the Paris Motor Show back in 2008, so too was the 2011 Mercedes-Benz CLS four-door coupe, which was previewed as a shooting brake at the 2010 Beijing Auto Show. But the long-tailed model is no...

Owners of diesel variants of any 2011 model year Mercedes-Benz E, GL, M or R-Class models better take note as the automaker has recently issued a recall alert for these particular models due to a leaky fuel filter hazard. The recall comes after a number of cases of leaking diesel fuel were reported...

Aston Martin is hard at work figuring out just what to do with its Lagonda revival plans. The automaker first revealed back in 2008 plans to revive the Lagonda name for a new range of bespoke models, the first of which was originally slated to appear in 2012, but exactly what market segments to...

Mercedes-Benz is in a process of reinventing its design language, going from the sharp edged and relatively boxy designs of the past to a much more fluid form for its next-generation of cars. Challenged by modern pedestrian impact design regulations, as well as increasing environmental awareness...

The 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK is still more than a few months from its world debut, but Mercedes is so amped about the "Magic Sky Control" roof, it's already dumping the details on its photochromic folding hardtop. Like those lenses your nerdy physics professor used to wear, the glass in the Magic Sky...

It's official: Grand-Am and NASCAR will partner to bring a 12-race U.S.-based championship for the Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft (DTM) series. We reported on an unconfirmed rumor that this might happen earlier in the month, and let's just say, we have our ice skates ready for this frosty day...

The next iteration of the Mercedes-Benz B-Class is rumored to be U.S.-bound, and we already have a good idea of what it looks like, both inside and out, from spy shots during testing. But according to a new report out of the U.K., there's a whole new car hiding just beneath the surface. In fact...

Facelifts. Whether done to people or cars, they can give new life to a pleasing but less-than-fresh look, or they can stretch something old into something hideous. By the looks of these spy photos, the C-Class AMG Estate's mid-life lift is one of the good ones. We've already seen the standard...

Mercedes-Benz is adding to its tech bona fides with a new Media Interface Plus. Earlier this month, the automaker unveiled an iPad kit for European customers, at the Paris auto show. The kit mounts owners' Apple tablet devices behind the front headrests, and puts the iPad in easy reach of back-seat...

If you drive a Mercedes-Benz SL-Class convertible, you've probably gotten a speeding ticket, according to a new study from Verisk Analytics. If you drive a Buick Rainier, you probably don't know what a ticket looks like. The study found the SL-Class to be the most-ticketed car, at a rate four times...

Mercedes-Benz has used this week’s 2010 Australian Motor Show in Sydney to unveil two very unique vehicles, both designed by the automaker’s Aussie division as a way to highlight the importance of the local market and show off some new design ideas that could eventually be offered to...

The growing push towards smaller and more fuel efficient vehicles is leading the charge for changing consumer perceptions of what defines a luxury car--with size no longer the differentiator but rather technology, quality and design. Nowhere is this more the case than in Europe where even the...

The 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK will bring some new features to the range, including the debut of one feature that is sure spread across the lineup: the Magic Sky Control roof. Teased here in a photo leaked ahead of the car's 2011 Geneva Motor Show debut, the roof looks simple enough. But looks can be...

We all know carmakers test their cars in the extreme environments of Death Valley, the Arctic Circle, and of course, the Nurburgring. But they also put them through their paces on the simulator, sometimes before a prototype is even built. Mercedes-Benz has just unveiled its latest simulator, and...

The Apple iPad has become an intriguing accessory for cars. The Hyundai Equus comes with one containing its owners' manual. We've seen one jammed into a Toyota Tacoma dash. At the 2010 Paris Auto Show, the 2011 BMW X3 posed with dual iPads hooked on clever mounts to its front headrests. Now...

The covers were just pulled off the new 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS at its world debut last week at the 2010 Paris Auto Show but already we have photos of the first crashed example. The crash took place at the Nurburgring circuit in Germany where engineers are running the car through its final phases of...

Mercedes-Benz's last C-Class coupe, the CLC, wasn't a great success, particularly here in the U.S., in part because of its awkward styling and in part--towards the end--because it was actually based on the previous-generation car, with only minor styling tweaks to update its look. Now Mercedes is...
