Maybe 4MATIC is packaged with a bunch of lightweight parts to offset the increased weight and parasitic loss.]]>Feb 26th 2008 7:33PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/geneva-08-preview-mercedes-to-debut-five-new-models/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/geneva-08-preview-mercedes-to-debut-five-new-models/Feb 26th 2008 9:34PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/geneva-08-preview-mercedes-to-debut-five-new-models/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/geneva-08-preview-mercedes-to-debut-five-new-models/
Just compare these cars to the S/E/SL class models back in 2001/2002 and you'll see that Mercedes has lost it's touch by a mile. All these new Mercedes seem to be getting uglier.

I'll still purchase the 03 S/SL class over any of these things. Now those were REAL Mercedes cars. Mercedes is swaying to far from it's core design. Much TOO far.]]>Feb 26th 2008 10:06PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/geneva-08-preview-mercedes-to-debut-five-new-models/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/geneva-08-preview-mercedes-to-debut-five-new-models/
The "new" S-Class is the only one of the new Mercedeses I like. The new C-Class is just horribly fugly, and I hate the new grilles they're forcing on all the models.]]>Feb 27th 2008 4:03AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/geneva-08-preview-mercedes-to-debut-five-new-models/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/geneva-08-preview-mercedes-to-debut-five-new-models/
I thought they were keeping it '500' in Europe because of the cache of the name or something, but that it was '550' in the USA.]]>Feb 27th 2008 12:23AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/geneva-08-preview-mercedes-to-debut-five-new-models/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/geneva-08-preview-mercedes-to-debut-five-new-models/Feb 27th 2008 4:04AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/geneva-08-preview-mercedes-to-debut-five-new-models/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/geneva-08-preview-mercedes-to-debut-five-new-models/Feb 27th 2008 12:31AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/geneva-08-preview-mercedes-to-debut-five-new-models/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/geneva-08-preview-mercedes-to-debut-five-new-models/
I wouldn't venture as far to say it's ruined, but really, it doesn't have the same effect on me the last one did (the desire to get rich so I could buy one, of course).
That might all change though the first time I see one with "V12 BiTurbo" badges go cruising by...]]>Feb 27th 2008 1:05AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/geneva-08-preview-mercedes-to-debut-five-new-models/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/geneva-08-preview-mercedes-to-debut-five-new-models/Feb 27th 2008 1:19AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/geneva-08-preview-mercedes-to-debut-five-new-models/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/geneva-08-preview-mercedes-to-debut-five-new-models/Feb 27th 2008 10:41AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/geneva-08-preview-mercedes-to-debut-five-new-models/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/geneva-08-preview-mercedes-to-debut-five-new-models/

Will the M-class get this high output V6? (Mercedes dropped the dual length intake manifold in the SL)]]>Feb 27th 2008 12:45PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/geneva-08-preview-mercedes-to-debut-five-new-models/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/geneva-08-preview-mercedes-to-debut-five-new-models/Feb 27th 2008 5:29PM
