Custom boat builder and racer Cigarette Racing, based in Miami-Dade County, Florida, is set to debut a new version of its signature performance boats, the 42-foot Huntress. Why are we reporting on a boat? Because, like its previous 46-foot Rider XP and 50-foot Marauder, the design of Cigarette...

With the Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG, the first high-performance AMG version of Mercedes’ new compact range, set to debut next month at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, it’s only natural that the similar CLA45 AMG, the AMG version of the new 2014 CLA Class, makes its debut at the following major...

We tip our hats to Mercedes-Benz, who admittedly had us beyond puzzled with the build up to its Super Bowl XLVII ad. While we certainly don’t mind reviewing footage of Kate Upton, we couldn’t see where she fit into the grand scheme of things - until now. While we can’t say...

The parent company of German luxury automaker Mercedes-Benz, Daimler, has announced it’s formed an alliance with Ford Motor Company [NYSE:F] and Nissan to help accelerate the development and eventual launch of hydrogen fuel cell technology for cars. The announcement comes just days after it...

These days, we find ourselves asking how much is too much when it comes to product placement spots in movies and on television. When is a movie or television show nothing more than a script steered around beauty shots designed to sell product? Based on the latest press release from Mercedes-Benz...

Mercedes-Benz has decided to delay plans for the launch of a mass-produced hydrogen fuel cell vehicle until at least 2017, three years later than it had originally hoped.

While it may seem like an unlikely occurrence, cars traveling in the wrong direction of traffic is becoming more and more prevalent. Just last year for example, even we reported on two such occurrences, one taking place in Mississippi and the other in Washington. Back in 2009 Nissan developed a...

We're not immune to the err…charms…of Kate Upton, but at the same time, we can't really figure out how she became famous. Regardless, here she is tricking some guys in football jerseys into washing a new Mercedes-Benz CLA Class. Presumably it's hers. The video is a new Super Bowl ad...

Four body styles, plus some wicked AMG love, mean the 2014 Mercedes-Benz E Class is freshly revamped and ready to take on the luxury sedan competition. The E Class Sedan and Wagon both made their way onto the web before the holidays, while the Coupe and Cabriolet saw their debuts at the 2013...

Mercedes-Benz hasn't sold a compact sedan in the U.S. since the instant-collectible 190E 2.3-16 started accruing its legendary status in the 1980s. Now, there's a new small Benz coming, and soon--but will the driving wheels make all the difference with the 2014 CLA 250? With the CLA, Mercedes-Benz...

Following the announcement that 2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG models would include a higher-performance S variant and would come standard with 4Matic all-wheel drive (in the U.S., anyway), Mercedes-Benz has adopted a similar strategy for its CLS 63AMG range. Available in four-door Coupe and Shooting...
