Aston Martin and Mercedes AMG. Few names in the automobile industry inspire the same expectation of power and prestige. Each of these luxury carmakers is a leader in their class. Two of their models are Formula 1 inspired machines with astounding capabilities –– and a 7 figure price tag. Which brings us to make the …

No matter how old you are, no matter how great or small your wealth, it is fun to dream about cars. Even behind the wheel of a beloved favorite it is an American pastime to look to the future and fantasize about your next car. Or daydream about the set of wheels you’re going to …

Mercedes-Benz isn’t just cutting some of its high-performance sedans. The German automaker has already canceled its X-Class pickup truck. And after 2020, one more model will be gone: the 2-seat convertible Mercedes SLC. Formerly known as the SLK, it’s a more compact version of the 4-seat SL. But why has the Mercedes SLC failed, when …

The Mercedes Benz GLC 350e 4MATIC is a versatile hybrid that incorporates style, luxury, and expanded electric range. The hybrid version of the 2020-GLC Class was officially revealed at the Frankfurt Motor Show last fall. The refreshed 350e GLC is just Mercedes’ third generation of hybrid-plugin vehicles. The most notable upgrade to the 2020 rendition of this …

Truck and SUV sales haven’t completely killed off sedans, and that’s partially because lately, sedans have been getting more stylish. The latest Hyundai Elantra and Sonata, for instance, have all manner of creases, folds, and edges. However, just like Mercedes didn’t call its minivan as such, some automakers don’t call their sedans by that name. …

Although the new Model Y has stolen the spotlight somewhat, Tesla’s Model X still has a lot going for it. But EV acceleration alone isn’t enough to win out over every luxury SUV buyer. And for those able to drop six figures on such an SUV, two of the most compelling come from BMW and …

The Mercedes X-Class has been discontinued before we really got to know it. In less than three years since this luxury truck was introduced, it’s officially saying good bye. This short-lived truck was only introduced two years ago to the Australian market, so what exactly happened? Why The Mercedes X-Class Is Being Discontinued  While BMW …

Sprinters are seen everywhere, but mostly as work vans or delivery vehicles. Amazon Sprinters go up and down the street delivering packages from dawn till dusk. The plumber or HVAC guy probably drives one. This may be one reason that they are overlooked as a passenger vehicle. They can come equipped for a family road …

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 …

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 …

Mercedes recently debuted a new luxury camper van. This decked out van allows anyone to camp in style in comfort, but is there a market for it?

Sometimes, older vehicles can still keep up with their newer counterparts. Even off-roaders: a used 4Runner is just as capable as a new one, for example. However, while used off-road SUVs can be bargains, their technology is also dated. This even applies to the Mercedes G-Wagon: the luxury off-roader has really only seen two significant …

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 …

What’s an easy way to make an SUV more ludicrous? Add wheels. Mercedes-Benz demonstrated this when engineers gave the outgoing G-Class an extra axle and pickup bed to create the G 63 AMG 6×6. And as an iconic off-roader, the Jeep Wrangler has had its share of extreme modifications. But Doug Demuro has located one …

Mercedes has made some fairly wild pickups. Engineers took a last-gen G-Class, added a pickup bed and an extra axle, and created the G 63 AMG 6×6. Customizers created the closest thing to a factory E-Class pickup. And it’s still possible elsewhere in the world to buy a stripped-down G-Class pickup. But when it comes …

Some of the most extreme versions of the Mercedes G-Wagon, like the G 63 AMG 6×6 and the G550 4×4 Squared, can seem more like Transformers than actual usable vehicles. When even a base G-Wagen offers more capability than many will tap into, it can turn these luxury SUVs into symbolic toys. But the G-Class …

For a luxury brand, Mercedes has made quite a few pickup trucks. Blurring the line between white- and blue-collar was the Funmog, a luxurious Unimog. The original G-Wagen could be had as a pickup, and right before the updated G-Class debuted, Mercedes brought the pickup back. Albeit with 6 wheels. There was also the X-Class, …

Those who spend six figures on an SUV have discerning tastes. Customers like these are what drive Land Rover to make sure its Range Rovers can still ford rivers, even though most of their time is spent ferrying people to airports. It’s why the Rolls-Royce Cullinan can win rally races with little-to-no modification. And it’s …

The new G-Class is offering the perfect blend of capability and top-notch comfort, in a uniquely packaged performance vehicle that only Mercedes can create. It may be overwhelming to decide what features or packages will make the most sense for your lifestyle use. Sometimes, too many options can make it harder to choose. So, we …

People often think off-roading requires specialty vehicles. So, they put up a Jeep Wrangler’s or Land Rover Defender’s drawbacks to be able to crawl over rocks. Or they shell out large sums for Mercedes G-Wagons or Rolls-Royce Cullinans. But then they worry about damaging their expensive SUVs. And while inexpensive off-roaders like the Suzuki Jimny …
