Mercedes

At this rate Mercedes will be no developments present in the Hall of Detroit, but seeing what we have almost over, so filtration should be more a nuisance than a real problem. And that, if not calculated in advance. The latest model that they have been spared by the gatera (very large) is the GLK Freeside, a prototype theoretically modelled its future compact crossover.
Like the concepts used by Mercedes Vision to advance future commercial products, this "show car" is more of a pre-production unit of a design studio. Something very evident when compared with the final model that sneaks into the shooting of Sex and the City. It can be said that the tagline Freeside dangerously similar to Freelander, it will be the sole prototype. Or so we believe. More photos and any official information in the very near future.
After several photos spies and leaks, Mercedes-Benz finally realized that it was better to make the Vision GLK Freeside something official. Anyway, we will not see this new compact SUV (or crossover) in person until the start of the Hall of Detroit. With 4.51 meters long, the GLK is only 5 mm smaller than a BMW X3. Its design takes lines of his elder brother, GL, but these do not fit at all but a body shorter.
The GLK Vision carries under the hood of the latest version 2.2 liter engine turbodiésel four-cylinder, which uses fourth generation of common rail injection system. This unit delivers 168 horsepower, controlled by an automatic transmission 7G-TRONIC seven speeds. Mercedes has improved traction comprehensive system 4MATIC permanent, reducing friction to a point where it is as efficient as if the traction out only two of the wheels. Also part of the equipment are the safety system PRE-SAFE, the ILS intelligent lighting system, the center of entertainment and information COMAND APS, an entertainment system with two screens for the rear seats and control of temperature THERMOTRONIC three zones.
The GLK Vision will make its appearance in European dealers during the autumn of this year, while in the United States, which will be submitted within a few days, will arrive in early 2009.

Driver Chinese are angry with Mercedes and promises to buy only national models
Last June, Wang Zhan, a Chinese citizen owner of a Mercedes S 350, embistió the back of a people carrier DongFeng. Unfortunately, at the time of the crash were not deployed any of the airbags with which the German vehicle, so Zhang and his daughter were dumped into the hospital.
In early December, the outraged driver called local media to a press conference. On the occasion, Zhang showed damage to his car, and noted that Zhengzhou Star, a distributor of Mercedes in China, had not given a satisfactory answer regarding the non-functioning of the airbags. After this, he announced that for the rest of their lives will only lead vehicles produced in China. While we understand the obfuscation Zhan, perhaps you should try some before Swedish model to test the safety of local products. Why is not that desconfiemos their quality, but …

Mercedes filters redesign of the CLS 63 AMG
We have already seen a few prototypes of the new CLS doing mandatory testing, but apparently, Mercedes could not wait for the official presentation. Today, the German manufacturer has shown the first two photographs of the redesign of its four-door coupe … And almost still looking developments.
The images belong to the CLS 63 AMG, and it can be said that only the owners will see a change. The most obvious, to say the least, is its two-bar grille, which replaces the current three. If we keep focusing (with magnifying glass), we can also find some new tires 19-inch (previously 18), LEDs on the pilots rear, a carbon fiber wing, and a diffuser slightly different.
As was the case with the new SLK 55 AMG, the mechanics for the CFA top model remains unchanged, so we still talking about the same 6.2 V8 514 hp. With it, accelerates from 0 to 100 kph in 4.5 seconds and gets a combined cycle consumption of 14.5 l/100 km (345 g / km). With almost surely know the rest of your data next week.

First details of the new SL AMG
First came the SLK, CLS then, and now he plays the shift to the new SL, revealed by the page in their Mercedes-Benz AMG variants. Unfortunately, the only photo we have so far is a rear 3 / 4, so we were left with the desire to learn how to be the front theoretically very changed. As we shall see, the changes in the SL are wider to the citations in the CFA, with particular emphasis on the large rear diffuser and a small wing on the trunk lid. Similarly, the contours of the sides seems different, and the SL 65 mounted tires of the latest 19-inch AMG.
Along with the photo above, the page Mercedes has published technical specifications of 63 and 65 AMG. The first one fitted with a 6.3 V8 engine replacing the 525-hp 5.5 L known of the house. This new mechanical lets you reach 100 km / h in 4.7 seconds, and step serves to build walls with smaller SLK 55 AMG. The top model, for its part, off ears and bronchi with the same 6.0 V12 biturbo the previous model (612 hp, 0-100 in 4.2 seconds).
Once again, you can expect all the details next week. Probably sooner than later.

Mercedes introduced a few days ago, the redesign of the new SLK, accompanied by two new engines and ecological benefits and services. The AMG variant, however, remains almost as it was in the plane mechanic, merely improve the visual appearance roadster with a series of additions that you will like the ring finger. Its approximate price in Germany will be 69,000 euros.
The first thing we pointed out to look at the pictures is the front bumper, with a wider air inlet, and a fleeing aesthetics F1 hearing in the base model. New management rear are identical to the previous ones, but now look smoked and are on a different bumper with four oval exhaust perfectly integrated into the bottom. The engine, for its part, is the same 5.5 L V8 we already know, 360 2008, the AMG version of the photos have appeared before the expiration of the hand information, which we will discuss this model once it is official. Meanwhile, we leave you with the artwork that have already been able to fish our friends in Carscoop.

The new Mercedes CLS which will be introduced this year to have any other significant change in his face washing, we can highlight the change in the front grill and making it less sharp acercandola more to the appearance of the rest of the models, the taillights will Leds and there will be new sizes of tires (17 "for the CLS 280, 320 and 350 CDI CGI, 18" CLS 500 and 19 "for the CLS 63 AMG).
What is most striking is that will be released less than a new model 320 CDI, with a 280 engine 231cv. The top model will be maintained without significant changes, it will remain with the AMG 514cv.
Prices in Germany will depart from € 55,692 for the 280 to 106,624 for the CLS 63 AMG.

Although only a facelift is raising enough expectation, it is the Mercedes SL 2009. The front has been completely redesigned to acercandolo straight finishes of the new models of the German company.
In terms of mechanics still as usual nothing is confirmed but we are confident loq ue is that the most butra bring under the bonnet with the new engine AMG 525cv and an acceleration of 0-100 in just 4.7 seconds, will FS 63 AMG.
Enjoy pictures mercedes many of the 20 million like me call him

For months we did not know anything of the Mercedes SLC, thanks to the photographers of WindingRoad today we can again show evidence for a region frost (it is impossible to know which photographers because when they make a discovery so good it kept totally secret).
We have made clear that breaking schemes with any other car on the market today, it seems that even the front is longer than in the Dodge Viper, we will continue to monitor further appearances and seeing what comes out of there.
