Yes, money can buy ugly -- The Gremlin may have been aesthetically challenged, but that kind of ugly ain't got nothing on a gold-plated, ruby-trimmed Mercedes SLR (look to your left). Apparently, the owner thought the base model was too humdrum, so he called up the tuners at Anliker and forked over $4 million to make it extra spicy. But y'know, as... Read More »

As I was toiling away at the computer today, I decided I should actually do something for myself, for me, to treat myself to something apart from the unabashed joy of filling out TPS reports. So I decided to eat lunch, and simultaneously surf the Internet while ingesting a sandwich. (See? I can do two things at once.) And it was clear in my mind... Read More »

The Basics: Back when it was brand-new, in 1998, the Mercedes-Benz M-Class (legally, the ML-Class) gave the German automaker its foothold in the SUV market, and in America, with its new assembly plant in the U.S. More than a decade later, the ML-Class is in its final years of the current body style, but it's still among the most desirable utes in...

The recent Mercedes-Benz Drive And Seek film featuring the new C-Class coupe is but one example of a very popular marketing ploy manufacturers of interesting cars have called upon in recent years. All of these films owe a debt of gratitude to the original "Car As Star" film, Rendezvous, released in 1976, ostensibly featuring a Ferrari 275 GTB... Read More »

It's official: Americans love rodents. That rule may not apply so much to rats or nutria, but cuter critters like squirrels and chipmunks are tops with U.S. consumers. And at the pinnacle of the rodent pyramid, we find hamsters -- specifically, the road-trippin' hamsters featured in commercials for the Kia Soul. At the 2011 New York Auto Show... Read More »

For the second time this week, Mercedes-Benz will recall vehicles sold in the U.S. This time, it's the 2011 E-Class sedan and wagon on the service-action notice. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), these E-Classes don't have enough adhesive between a vibration damper and a mass-damper ring in the powertrain... Read More »

The Basics: At one time, it was going to be the replacement for the military-grade Gelaendewagen, or the G-Class. But by the time it was ready for production in 2007, the SUV market was on fire, and the Mercedes-Benz GL-Class took its own place in the lineup as a true Range Rover fighter. SUV sales may have tanked, but the GL-Class is still the... Read More »

Back in 2007, Mercedes-Benz made a brilliant marketing move, scoring the title sponsorship of IMG Fashion's semi-annual Fashion Week in New York. The multimillion-dollar deal keeps the brand front and center of celebrities, publishers, the media, and other insanely wealthy tastemakers. It's an over-the-top, swanky event, and it's a perfect ..

It's Monday, and as usual, we're feeling kind of sluggish -- especially those of us stuck at Stalag TCC while other lucky folks have jetted off to Frankfurt.
