Brabus Makes the 800-Hp G63 AMG Pickup That Mercedes Won’t

The new Mercedes G63 AMG isn’t just more powerful than the outgoing model, it’s better overall. Though the old one did have a certain charm, especially once the custom builds rolled in. Some were a bit much, but others, like the portal-axle version, genuinely improved the G-Class’ capabilities. Then there was the 6-wheeled pickup, which …

The $200k Mercedes G63 AMG’s Problem Isn’t With the SUV

Mercedes finally updated the G-Class in 2018 after seeing the outgoing version off with a 6-wheeled pickup and portal-axle version. With the newest model came a new AMG version, the Mercedes G63 AMG. The G-Wagon has always been an impressive off-roader and luxury symbol, but now it’s joined in the high-end luxury SUV market by …

Germany Is Headed Toward Recession Due To Tesla

In Germany, the auto industry is looking at Tesla as an existential threat. And rightly so. It won’t be long–maybe even this year, when Tesla will outsell both Mercedes and BMW combined in the US.

The Most Disappointing New Car You Should Avoid at All Costs

At the end of the day, owner satisfaction is the only metric that matters when shopping for a car. If the owners are happy and don’t regret buying the car, then the car has done its job. This can’t be said for the 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLA, though, which is the most disappointing new car on the …

Here Are The Models Cut At Mercedes-It’s Not Good

Mercedes is getting hit from two fronts greatly affecting current and future models, and not in a good way.

Germany Can’t Build Pickups As Mercedes Kills X-Class

Why can’t German manufacturers build decent pickups? If you thought the Mercedes X-Class was a good pickup you can thank Nissan. The X-Class pickup was just a thinly disguised Navara. That’s in Nissan Navara. Mercedes odd decisions surrounding the X-Class didn’t help, either. Like leaving the largest market for pickups out of any distribution plans. …

Mercedes Metris With A Mattress Reminds Us Of Hippie Hijinks

If you’ve ever wanted a contemporary version of the 1970s hippie van your time ran out a few years ago. Ford’s Transit Vanwagon and the regular wheelbase of Chevy’s Express van are as close as you can get, which isn’t very much. They’re not like those tall Euro-Sprinter vans that are now sold in the …

These Are the Luxury Cars People Keep the Longest

When it comes to things such as depreciation and long-term reliability, luxury car owners typically don’t care too much for them. If they wanted a car that could last them 300,000 miles, then they probably wouldn’t be buying a luxury car in the first place. That said, luxury car owners do hold onto a few …

Mercedes Once Offered a 500-HP Minivan

Mercedes is no stranger to oddball ideas. This is the automaker that grafted an extra axle and pickup bed onto a G-Class, after all. There’s also been E-Class pickups, G-Wagon pickups, and a luxury Unimog. But for although the German company can do luxury well, there’s one type of vehicle that doesn’t appear in its …

A Used Mercedes G-Wagon Can Be Surprisingly Affordable

Normally, a Mercedes G-Wagon (aka G-Class) isn’t exactly a bargain. The SUV retains its value surprisingly well for a luxury off-roader, and even old models can sometimes sell for six figures. Usually, the only way to get a G-Wagen on the cheap is to get one from the military. However, it is still possible to …
